U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Texas Republican who led congressional efforts opposing gender-affirming care, was defeated by Steve Toth in the Republican primary for Texas’s 2nd Congressional District. The Associated Press declared Toth's victory with 57.3 percent of votes. This defeat puts the end of Crensh's career as an outspoken critic of gender-friendly care. Crenhaw had previously supported legislation to prevent federal programs from paying for gender-intensive medical care for minors, which he defended as a measure to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used for controversial treatments.
