The Associated Press had initially called the race for Hurd on Tuesday night. But his apparent victory was thrown into confusion early Wednesday morning when results from the Texas secretary of state showed that his Democratic challenger, Gina Ortiz Jones, had pulled ahead by a razor-thin margin. The AP later rescinded its call.

The district is majority Hispanic and runs along 800 miles of the southern border. Democrats have had a huge target on his back since he flipped the seat red in 2014.
