Texas Rep. Ousted After 8 Terms

Texas’s Republican Senate candidates will face a runoff in July, but on the Democratic side of things, Rep. Silvestre Reyes lost his shot at defending his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in last night's primary. Reyes, who had eight congressional terms under his belt and endorsements from President Obama and former president Bill Clinton, was ousted by El Paso City Council member Robert “Beto” O’Rourke. O’Rourke, a Spanish-speaking Irish-American, won the 78 percent Hispanic district with the help of the Campaign for Primary Accountability, an anti-incumbent super PAC, which Reyes has charged “deliberately ran a nasty, dirty campaign.”
