What Went Down At Biden’s State Of The Union And Texas’s Primary Election

In Texas’s 30th District, where Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson is not seeking reelection, state Rep. Jasmine Crockett is just under the 50 percent she would need to avoid a runoff in the Democratic primary. Crockett, who was endorsed by Johnson, has 46.4 percent of the vote, according to the New York Times, while Jane Hamilton, who was the Biden campaign’s Texas state director in 2020, is in second with 19.6 percent. Less than 60 percent of precincts are reporting. The winner of the primary is almost certainly heading to Congress.
