LIVE UPDATES: See the full results of the Democratic primary in Texas' 24th congressional district
Texas 24th district Democratic primary results: The 24th district, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs, is one of many of the state's diverse, suburban districts that were Republican strongholds for decades, but are now trending Democratic as college-educated suburban voters leave the GOP in droves nationwide.
While former Republican presidential nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney carried the seat by huge double-digit margins in 2008 and 2012, TrumpDemocrats are now seizing on current GOP Rep. Kenny Marchant, who won re-election by three percentage points in 2018, retiring this year and leaving the seat open to flip control of the district from Republican to Democratic.
Neuroscientist John Biggan, accountant Jan McDowell, project manager Sam Vega, and school board member Richard Fleming are also competing in the Democratic primary. Texas is a run-off state, meaning that if no single candidate earns over 50% of the vote in the primary, the top two vote-getters advance to a run-off election on March 26. While you wait for Texas results to come in, head over to our main Super Tuesday post to follow all the action.
Follow along with the results from the Democratic presidential primary in Texas, the Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas, and all Texas down-ballot House primaries.
