Trump backs embattled ‘patriot’ Texas AG Paxton over George P. Bush

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Monday, rebuffing the incumbent’s primary challenger and Bush family scion George P. Bush.

Trump praised Paxton in a statement for being “bravely on the front line in the fight for Texas, and America, against the vicious and very dangerous Radical Left Democrats, and the foolish and unsuspecting RINOs that are destroying our Country. “Ken is strong on Crime, Border Security, the Second Amendment, Election Integrity and, above all, our Constitution,” the former president continued. “He loves our Military and our Vets. It is going to take a PATRIOT like Ken Paxton to advance America First policies in order to Make America Great Again. Ken has my Complete and Total Endorsement for another term as Attorney General of Texas. He is a true Texan who will keep Texas safe—and will never let you down!”
