excerpt:
Two statewide, Republican incumbents with national aspirations, Gov. Greg Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz, won renomination easily. Cruz will face Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who dispatched two challengers in the Democratic primary, in November.

While strategists in both parties remain skeptical of O’Rourke’s chances of toppling Cruz in the large, expensive and traditionally Republican state, O'Rourke has managed to outraise the first-term GOP incumbent in three consecutive reporting periods, boosted largely by small-dollar donations.

Yep! And a solid conservative will be replacing Ted Poe regardless of who wins the runoff!
