Rep. Al Green (D-TX) is at risk of losing his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives after failing to secure a majority of the vote in the primary race for Texas’s 18th Congressional District.
Green will now face fellow Democrat Rep. Christian Menefee (D-TX) in a runoff election.
Under Texas law, if no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates advance to a runoff.
According to results reported Wednesday by The Associated Press, Menefee received 46% of the vote, while Green secured 44.2%, forcing the race into a second round.
