Dr. Ronny Jackson, President Donald Trump's former chief physician and one-time nominee for Veterans Affairs secretary, won a GOP primary runoff for a Texas congressional seat on Tuesday, CNN projects, defeating cattle industry lobbyist Josh Winegarner.

Trump had backed Jackson, who is a Texas native, while Winegarner had the support of outgoing 13th District Rep. Mac Thornberry, who announced last year that he would not run for reelection. The district is heavily conservative and was carried by Trump by more than 60 points. As a result, the Republican nominee is well positioned to keep the seat in GOP hands in the November general election.

Proud of you Ronny!!!" Jackson tweeted separately that he had a chance to speak with the President over the phone on Tuesday evening, adding,"I am honored to be the Republican nominee for #TX13! I promise I will make you proud!" Read MoreJackson withdrew from consideration as Trump's nominee for secretary of Veterans Affairs in 2018 over allegations that he was"abusive" toward colleagues, loosely handled prescription pain medications and was periodically intoxicated.

Trump-Backed Tuberville Beats Sessions in Alabama Senate GOP PrimaryThe Trump-supported former college-football coach defeated the ex-attorney general. In Maine, Democratic winner Sara Gideon will face Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Whatever happens this clown will still have to go through life with the eternal shame of having such a ridiculous-ass name as “Tommy Tuberville” for chrissakes he sounds like a rejected character from veggie tales Jeff Sessions dug his own grave by recusing himself. Sessions sure is a thorough-bred conservative, but he caved in to Democrats and their phony Russia investigation. It’s best the old man retire before he further humiliates himself. Because football is religion in Alabama .

Trump sends a message to his GOP critics. Forgiving non violent criminals seems to be the latest trend in our liberal society. Are YOU against it? .
