Trump goes all in on Texas all-GOP special election runoff for Congress
Fox News
From robocalls to TV ads, statements to an election eve tele-rally, former President Trump is throwing his considerable political clout around in Tuesday’s special election runoff between two Republican candidates in the race to fill a vacant House seat in Texas.
"Hello, this is your hopefully all-time favorite president, Donald Trump," he says in an automated call this week to voters in Texas' 6th Congressional District. "I’m asking you to go out and vote for a great Republican, a great woman, Susan Wright." Wright is the widow of the late Rep. Ron Wright, who died of COVID-19 complications in February. With Trump’s backing just days before the May 1 special election, Wright came in first in a field of 23 contenders. Fellow Republican and state Rep. Jake Ellzey narrowly edged out Democrat Jana Lynne Sanchez for the second and final spot in Tuesday’s runoff contest in the district, which covers some southeastern parts of the city of Fort Worth and surrounding suburbs as well as the exurbs and rural areas south of Dallas.More Related News
