Rep. Van Taylor (R-Texas) has ended his reelection campaign after admitting to having an affair with Tania Joya, the widow of an American who joined ISIS.

Taylor, who was bidding for a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives, made the announcement shortly after he was forced into a runoff for the Republican nomination after garnering 48.7 percent of the vote in the primary, just shy of the 50 percent needed to win his party’s nomination.
