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

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, a Republican, is winning his primary with just 59 percent of the vote, according to the New York Times. That’s low for an incumbent but familiar territory for Miller, who won the 2018 primary as an incumbent with only 56 percent of the vote. Miller has courted a lot of controversy in his two terms in office, from spreading fake news on social media to calling then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a slur I won’t repeat here, to being investigated for criminal misuse of taxpayer funds (no charges were filed). His main opponent, state Rep. James White, is winning just 31.1 percent of the vote, which isn’t enough to force a runoff. Miller had a close general election in 2018. His Democratic opponent this fall will be cannabis attorney Susan Hays, who convincingly won her primary tonight.
