Notorious longtime Democrat Rep. Al Green suffered a humiliating defeat in Texas tonight.
As you may know, Rep. Green has been one of President Trump’s biggest haters and was responsible for pushing multiple impeachment attempts.
He also was kicked out of President Trump’s State of the Union speeches for protesting.
Now, after over two decades in office, Green has been ousted from seat in Congress.
Here are the details:

BREAKING: One of Congress’ most aggressive Trump critics just lost his seat in Texas.
Rep. Al Green, the Democrat who repeatedly pushed to impeach President Trump, was defeated in a heated primary race against fellow Texas Rep. Christian Menefee.
Green built a national profile during Trump’s first term by relentlessly criticizing the president and repeatedly interrupting his State of the Union speeches.
Now, after years in office, one of Trump’s loudest congressional opponents is out.
🚨Rep. Al Green just LOST his primary by 37+ points.
Green tried to impeach Trump 6 times, all attempts failed.
He protested the State of the Union two years in a row.
Now his own district rejected him.

Rep. Greene ran for Texas’ 18th Congressional District against another incumbent representative, Christian Menefee.
He was forced to run for this seat rather than his original 9th District after Texas passed new redistricting maps.

KABOOM‼️
21+ Year Democrat Swamp Creature Al Green has LOST his Congressional seat in Texas!
How Trump did it:
Due to 2025 redistricting (which made his original 9th District more Republican-leaning), he ran for the neighboring 18th District but lost the Democratic primary… pic.twitter.com/aSC0ciL9hs— MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) May 27, 2026
KABOOM‼️
21+ Year Democrat Swamp Creature Al Green has LOST his Congressional seat in Texas!
How Trump did it:
Due to 2025 redistricting (which made his original 9th District more Republican-leaning), he ran for the neighboring 18th District but lost the Democratic primary tonight.Don’t you love when a plan comes together?
Fox News reported further:
Texas redistricting claimed a longtime Democratic incumbent Tuesday, as Rep. Christian Menefee defeated Rep. Al Green in a Houston-area runoff that forced two sitting House Democrats into the same race.
Rep. Al Green, one of Congress’ most vocal Trump antagonists, lost his Democratic runoff Tuesday to fellow Texas Rep. Christian Menefee after redistricting scrambled Houston-area congressional lines.
ADVERTISEMENTThe race for Texas’ solidly Democratic 18th Congressional District was an incumbent-on-incumbent Democratic clash, with Green and Menefee both trying to preserve their places in Congress after redistricting altered the congressional districts around Houston.
In Texas, it is mandated by law that if no candidate has captured a majority of the vote during a primary, the race will head to a runoff election. Menefee received 46% of votes and Green 44.2% following the early-March primary.
Green has been among President Donald Trump’s fiercest critics in Congress, pursuing impeachment charges on multiple occasions against him during both of Trump’s terms. Green has been kicked out of Trump’s State of the Union addresses multiple times as well for standing up and protesting amid the speech.
Good riddance!
In memory of Rep. Green’s time in Congress, I’ll just drop this here:
