Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced his "complete and total endorsement" of Mayes Middleton for Texas Attorney General. Trump praised Middleton as a "MAGA" fighter, a seventh-generation Texan, rancher, state senator, and president of Middleton Oil Company. He criticized Middleton's opponent, Nathan Johnson, as a "radical left-wing Democrat" who opposes tips, overtime pay, and Social Security tax exemptions, and supports policies such as massive tax increases and open borders.
