Former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred defeats state Rep. Julie Johnson in the Democratic runoff for Texas’s 33rd Congressional District, according to NBC News, CBS News, and The Hill. Allred’s victory makes him the Democratic nominee for the district. The outlets describe a contest in which Allred faces Johnson after Johnson previously won the seat. The Hill notes that Johnson succeeded Allred after Allred vacated the seat to run for the U.S. Senate, where he lost to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in 2024. Following that cycle, Allred returns to Democratic primary competition to reclaim the seat. CBS characterizes the race as heated, while the other reports focus on the outcome and the candidates’ political history. Collectively, the coverage agrees that the runoff winner is Allred and that Johnson is unseated in the Democratic contest for the district’s nomination. The reporting does not indicate changes to party control outside the Democratic primary process.
