Roy racked up several high-profile endorsements leading up to the race, including from his former boss Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Other Republicans including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, and Florida gubernatorial candidate and Rep. Byron Donalds also threw their support behind Roy leading up to election night.<\/p>\n

While Roy boasted an impressive roster of congressional and Texan endorsements, Middleton\u2019s backers were almost entirely local officials. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep Introduces Bill Banning Foreign Adversaries From Buying American Homes)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Middleton\u2019s campaign website lists dozens of endorsements from Texas state representatives, business leaders, and local organizations leading up to the election. Middleton also earned the support of former attorney general candidate Aaron Reitz, who endorsed Middleton after failing to advance in the runoff.<\/p>\n

Paxton did not endorse either Middleton or Roy in the runoff after his preferred candidate, Reitz, failed to advance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump also declined to endorse in the attorney general race, although some of his allies lambasted Roy for times he broke with the president, including vocally opposing attempts not to certify the 2020 election, backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 presidential primary, and coming out against raising the debt ceiling.<\/p>\n
