Christian Menefee defeated veteran Democrat Al Green in a closely watched primary runoff on Tuesday for Texas's 18th Congressional District, ending Green's more than two-decade run in Congress and raising questions over what comes next for the high‑profile Trump critic whose 'Black people aren't apes' protest at this year's State of the Union made national headlines.
The runoff was triggered after a sweeping Republican redraw of Texas's congressional map effectively wiped out Green's long‑held 9th district, forcing him to seek political survival in a new seat.
