GOP Establishment Triumphs in Texas Runoff Elections
TL;DR
U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales narrowly won the Republican primary runoff for Texas' 23rd Congressional District against YouTuber Brandon Herrera, who campaigned heavily on gun rights. Despite a close race and significant fundraising by both candidates, Herrera conceded, marking the end of a contentious primary season. Gonzales, who faced criticism from the right-wing of his party, will now compete against Democrat Santos Limon in the November general election.
