Gov. Abbott Wins Trump Re-Election Endorsement

[#TexasPolitics365]

Gov. Greg Abbott has received the endorsement of former president Donald Trump for the governor's re-election bid next year.

He made the statement Tuesday, in an email to supporters of Trump's Save America PAC. In its entirety, it reads:

"Greg Abbott is a fighter and a Great Governor for the indefinite people of Texas. 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. Texas has become a job-creating machine, and our partnership helped restore America's economic power and success. Greg is also very tough on crime, fully supports the brave men and women of Law Enforcement, and is all in on Election Integrity. Governor Greg Abbott will continue to be a great leader for the Lone Star State and has my complete and total endorsement for re-election. He will never let you down!" 

The endorsement will not be met with joy by his announced primary opponent, former State Sen. Don Huffines, and his other presumed opponent, Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, who is expected to announce in the coming weeks. They are both likely to aggressively seek the approval of conservative Trump voters. That will be complicated by Trump's strong endorsement of Abbott.
