Trump-endorsed candidate Eric Flores defeated former Rep. Mayra Flores in Texas Congressional District 34. Flores will face off against incumbent Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez in the redrawn district.

Despite facing nine other Republicans taking part in the primary, Flores managed to surpass the 50 percent threshold to avoid a runoff. Gonzalez also handily defeated his single challenger for the Democratic nomination.
