Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a statement to endorse Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for reelection, praising the governor for his policies on the U.S. southern border, the Second Amendment, and election integrity.
“Greg Abbott is a fighter and a Great Governor for the incredible people of Texas,” the former president said in a statement circulated by his Save America political action committee. “No Governor has done more to secure the Border and keep our communities safe than Governor Abbott. Greg is a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and has made Texas a Second Amendment Sanctuary State.”
Trump is waiting to see how big the RINO purge of the 2022 primaries will be, especially in the state legislatures.
If RINO types like Kemp and Raffensburger are still in office come 2024, then there is no point in Trump running, since the RINOs will once again turn a blind eye to Dem cheating.
I agree!..but Dominion voting machines will still rule the out come...
Time to move the deck chairs aft on the Titanic...and pretend we've done something.....
Paxton is expected to run for a third term, with George P. Bush as his primary opponent.
Don Huffines, a conservative former state senator from the Dallas area, has already announced his gubernatorial candidacy.
Boo
I am supporting Huffines.
Me too
That’s unfortunate in the cases where he endorses Bush League Republicans like Micro Rubio.
Huffines was big on breath and short on details.
Abbott is pretty worthless.
Yep. I fear he would do no better if he won a 2nd term. Don't know what it is about him.
Name some one you support over Abbott.
I read on another thread that Texans are, and always will be, pissed at Abbott/Cruz for 'the freeze'.
I ax all Texans, "Why"?
Gov Abbott make S.E. Texas dependent on Wind Power. Well the Wind Power failed us when we needed it the most. I spent 2 days freezing in the dark and I have friends that spent 3 day freezing in the dark. F Abbott.
Dan Patrick would make a much better Governor.
I'd be voting Paxton.
You go to war with the army you have.
So - basically - Abbott is a lot like Trump - “I shut it down” (Axios interview). Both Trump and Abbott “shut it down.” They are two peas in a pod - neither of them are true hard core conservatives - hence the endorsement.
I sure hope not.
