Steve Toth Defeats Dan Crenshaw in Texas Republican Primary

Outlets agree that Steve Toth defeated incumbent Dan Crenshaw in the Texas Republican primary for the 2nd Congressional District. Toth advances as the Republican nominee for the general election.

Center outlets generally report the result and place the race in disputes over Crenshaw’s conservative credentials and Trump alignment, while also profiling Toth. Right-leaning outlets frame it as a MAGA or conservative-faction victory and emphasize criticism that Crenshaw was insufficiently conservative; one also questions whether Toth would differ from him on presidential war powers.
