Crenshaw frames new Marine deployment as deterrence with clear ROE amid Iran tensions

Rep. Dan Crenshaw argues that deploying a few thousand more Marines signals deterrence and readiness rather than a ground invasion, emphasizes that rules of engagement will be clear and focused on threats around the Strait of Hormuz, and defends hard-line rhetoric as not reflective of GOP mainstream. He also notes misinformation helped fuel his primary loss and urges voters to seek the truth while supporting DHS funding to counter threats.

Feud with megadonor helps topple Rep. Crenshaw in Texas primary

Feud with megadonor helps topple Rep. Crenshaw in Texas primary

A Texas billionaire donor, Robert Marling, funded about two-thirds of a pro-Toth super PAC’s anti-Crenshaw campaign with roughly $675,000, helping Steve Toth defeat Rep. Dan Crenshaw 55% to 40% in the Republican primary. The feud between Crenshaw and Marling—centered on district dynamics and ideological differences—was amplified by mailers and TV ads paid for by Marling, with Trump not endorsing Crenshaw and Cruz involved on the opposing side. The loss illustrates how a single affluent donor can seize a GOP primary in a single district.

Steve Toth Upsets Crenshaw in Texas GOP Primary

Texas state Rep. Steve Toth defeated incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw in the Republican primary for Texas’s 2nd District, a surprising upset fueled by Crenshaw’s clashes with the MAGA wing and endorsements from Ted Cruz. Cruz-backed Toth ran on a staunch conservative platform, aided by a pro-Toth super PAC, and benefited from redistricting that kept the district securely Republican. Crenshaw, despite outraising Toth, drew criticism within the party for his positions on Ukraine, Afghan resettlement, and his stance toward fellow Republicans. Toth is favored to win the November race in a district that leans heavily Republican, facing Democrat Shaun Finnie.

Crenshaw Falls to Steve Toth in Texas GOP Primary

In a tight Texas GOP primary for the 2nd District, Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost to hard‑line state Rep. Steve Toth, a result framed as a rebuke of Crenshaw’s occasional breaks with Republicans and his stance on the 2020 election amid strong Trump loyalty in a solidly Republican Houston-area district. Trump did not endorse either candidate, but backers including Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson helped Toth, highlighting the party’s hard-right drift and the vulnerability of incumbents who cross Trump-era lines.
