Texas state Rep. Steve Toth pulled off an upset win in the Republican congressional primary over four-term Rep. Dan Crenshaw, NBC News and the Associated Press reported, in one of the more surprising moments of the early 2026 midterm season.
Toth declared victory on March 3 over the incumbent Crenshaw in Texas’ newly mapped 2nd Congressional District. Toth led Crenshaw by nearly 19 percentage points in his Houston-area district en route to his victory, according to NBC News and the Associated Press.
