In a massive victory for the America First movement, Texas State Representative Steve Toth has defeated four-term incumbent Rep. Dan Crenshaw in Tuesday's GOP primary for Texas's 2nd Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ projections.

This stunning upset sends shockwaves through the Republican establishment and proves that grassroots conservatives are still cleaning house, even during President Trump's triumphant second term. Toth's victory all but guarantees he'll represent the safely red district in Congress come January.

Social media erupted with celebration as the news broke. "Toth defeats Crenshaw in Texas GOP primary upset," posted @RLive48372 on Twitter, highlighting how the America First candidate "is projected to pull off a victory in Tuesday's primary, unseating fourth-term incumbent Rep. Dan Crenshaw."

Establishment RINO Gets the Boot

Crenshaw, despite his military service, had increasingly drawn criticism from conservative activists for his establishment positions and attacks on Trump-supporting Republicans. Many patriots viewed him as another swamp creature who talked conservative but voted with the Washington uniparty when it mattered.

Toth, meanwhile, ran on a platform of unwavering support for President Trump's agenda and fought tirelessly in the Texas legislature for conservative principles. His victory represents the continued strength of the MAGA movement in purging RINOs from the Republican Party.

"Steve Toth Defeats Incumbent Rep. Dan Crenshaw in Texas GOP Primary for 2nd Congressional District," confirmed another social media user, @gibsonart, as news of the upset spread across conservative networks.

This primary upset proves that even in 2026, with Trump firmly back in the White House, grassroots Americans aren't satisfied with business-as-usual Republicans. They want fighters who will stand with the President's America First agenda without compromise.

Will this be the beginning of another wave of primary challenges against establishment Republicans? Patriots across the country are watching – and taking notes.

Crenshaw's support for red flag laws was the last straw for me. Glad Texas voters remembered what the Second Amendment actually means.

I volunteered for Toth's campaign and we saw the momentum building for months. Voters are tired of politicians who campaign conservative but govern like moderates.

This is HUGE! Steve Toth has been fighting the good fight in the Texas legislature for years. He actually walks the walk instead of just talking.

FINALLY! Crenshaw has been a disappointment from day one. His voting record speaks for itself - more interested in playing politics than representing TRUE conservative values.

Exactly! I was so disappointed when he voted for that omnibus spending bill last year.

About time we start primarying these establishment Republicans! This should send a message to every RINO in Congress.

Totally agree. Primary season is our chance to clean house.

Wait, is this confirmed? I thought Crenshaw was pretty popular in his district despite his issues.

I've been following Toth's work on election integrity and border security in Austin. The man doesn't compromise on core principles. Crenshaw lost his way after getting to Washington.

Toth was one of the few willing to call out Abbott when he needed to be called out too.
