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

Meanwhile, the Democratic race for lieutenant governor looks like it might be headed to a runoff, too. Mike Collier, an accountant and auditor who challenged incumbent Dan Patrick in 2018, currently leads the pack with roughly 44 percent of the vote, according to the New York Times. Behind him, at 29 percent, is state Rep. Michelle Beckley, who gained national attention last year after she joined lawmakers who fled to Washington, D.C., to block a restrictive Republican elections bill. Carla Brailey, the former vice chair of the Texas Democratic Party, currently sits at 27 percent, per the Times, with just over half of precincts reporting.
