The biggest Republican primary upset in 2026 has just occurred.

With nearly 62% of the vote counted, Toth garnered 57% compared to Crenshaw’s 39.1%.

Maybe Crenshaw shouldn’t have said this:

KSAT had these details to report on Toth’s big win:

State Rep. Steve Toth declared victory Tuesday night in his bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, coming one step closer to representing Texas’ 2nd Congressional District.

Toth opened a wide lead in the Republican primary on Tuesday as results came in. The Associated Press has not declared a winner for the Houston-area seat.

“Congressional District 2 voters want a representative in D.C. who will stand firm in his convictions, fight for his constituents, and follow through on his promises. I won’t let them down,” Toth said in a news release.

Toth’s commanding lead was a reversal of fortunes for Crenshaw, who had in previous years sailed through the primaries with double-digit leads. The sudden overtaking comes despite Crenshaw having raised $1.3 million more than Toth.

Toth is among the Texas Republican Party’s most conservative members who have repeatedly questioned the commitment of leadership and Gov. Greg Abbott to the GOP’s values. The Conroe Republican has framed the race as a referendum on the future of the Republican Party, an effort that garnered support from several conservative leaders, including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Turning Point Action.

If you’re not unfamiliar with Toth, get to know him by watching his sit down interview with Tucker:

If an unbalanced warmonger like Dan Crenshaw can represent the GOP in Congress, then honestly what’s the point of having a Republican Party? State Rep. Steve Toth is working to beat Crenshaw in the primary and restore the party to sanity.
