Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won the endorsement of the former president in his bid for reelection.
The highly sought after endorsement goes to Paxton, former President Donald Trump making it official last night issuing a statement saying Paxton is good for Texas.
Paxton tweeted he's honored to have trump's support.
Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, who is challenging Paxton for the GOP nomination, had been courting Trump hoping for his backing. In fact Bush met with Trump earlier this month at his New Jersey golf club.
In announcing his run for Attorney General, Bush pointed to Paxton's criminal indictments, saying Texans deserve better.
The Trump endorsement gives the embattled AG an edge in next years Republican primary, that also includes former state Supreme Court justice Eva Guzman.
