Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated Land Commissioner George P Bush in a runoff race on Tuesday, effectively ending the Bush dynasty in a state where the political family dominated.
The race mark the first time in decades that a Bush has lost in a statewide primary in Texas. Mr Bush’s grandfather was the late former president George HW Bush, while George W Bush, who was elected twice as governor of Texas before becoming US president, is his uncle. He is also the son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush.
