Christian D. Menefee, a rising Democratic star, defeated veteran Congressman Al Green in a primary runoff for the newly redrawn Texas 18th Congressional District. Menefee, previously the youngest and first Black Harris County attorney, also recently entered Congress via a special election. He is now one of the newest members of the US House of Representatives.

NBC News projects Menefee defeated Green after GOP-led redistricting efforts forced them to run for the same slice of Houston.

The race pitted two Democratic incumbents against each other after Republicans redrew the congressional map in their favor.
