A married-with-kids Texas congressman abruptly dropped his bid for re-election Wednesday after admitting he had an affair with a woman who has been described as an ex-jihadist “ISIS bride.”
Republican Rep. Van Taylor, 49, was headed for a GOP runoff with Keith Self following Tuesday’s primary election for Texas’ 3rd Congressional District when he sent an email to supporters announcing he was dropping out, giving Self the nomination.
