Former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred dropped out of the Texas Senate race on Monday, leaving many ramifications in an effort to avoid a runoff in a three-way primary after Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) jumped in the race. 

The Texas primary has been a heated one for both parties, as the GOP has three major candidates and the Democrats narrowly missed having three possible contenders. Allred suspended his second campaign for the upper chamber to launch a bid to return to the House.
