Trump’s influence tests the Texas AG primary as Roy leads in MAGA contest
TL;DR
Texas Republicans face a high-stakes attorney general primary framed as a MAGA purity test, with Rep. Chip Roy leading a field that includes Mayes Middleton, Aaron Reitz, and Joan Huffman. Trump’s endorsement looms but has not yet weighed in, and Roy’s past clashes with Trump are used by rivals to question his loyalty; polls show Roy at 33%, Middleton 23%, Huffman 13%, Reitz 6%, with about a quarter undecided, making the winner a bellwether for the GOP’s post-Trump legal strategy.
