- Despite raising $1.3 million more, Toth drew support from Ted Cruz and Turning Point Action while Crenshaw emphasized his conservative record and NRA endorsement.
- The Associated Press had not declared a winner as returns leaned heavily Toth's way, while MAGA figures celebrated Crenshaw's loss on Tuesday.
