Trump teased before his speech on Friday that he had “pretty much” decided who he would endorse, but declined to tell reporters which candidate had his support.

“No,” Trump said when reporters asked him who he was backing. 

He did, however, greet all three candidates while speaking, signaling his friendliness but refusal to truly wade into the primary. 

The president called both Paxton and Cornyn “great” and the election “interesting” during his remarks. 

“We have a great attorney general, Ken Paxton. Where’s Ken? Hi Ken. And we have a great Sen. John Cornyn, Hi John, thank you, John,” Trump said. 

“And another friend of mine who’s doing very well, Wesley Hunt. Where’s Wesley? Wesley Hunt, doing a good job,” Trump also said. “Thank you, Wesley.” 

Cornyn, who flew to Corpus Christi with Trump aboard Air Force One, is in the fight of his political career despite being backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and his more than 20 years in the Senate. 

With three candidates in the field, it is not expected that any single lawmaker will win the primary. Instead, the top two candidates will advance to the primary runoff on May 26. 

But Republicans are worried that the popular but scandal-plagued Paxton could eventually win the primary, boosting Democrats’ chances of finally flipping the seat blue after decades of false hope. 

Vice President Kamala Harris threw her support behind Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) on Friday and has recorded a robocall for the Congressional Democrat’s primary battle against Texas State Rep. James Talarico. 

Trump also publicly acknowledged the embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), who sent explicit late-night texts to former aide Regina Santos-Aviles before she set herself on fire last year.

Gonzales has refused to step down from office after the texts were made public this week, and at least six Republicans have called for his resignation, upending another Texas race with primaries looming. 

“Congressman Tony Gonzales is here. Tony, congratulations,” Trump said.

Trump was in Corpus Christi to underscore his economy and energy policy agendas before November’s midterm elections, though he veered off script during his address to tell the crowd an anecdote intended to emphasize how well the stock market is performing at the moment.

“This wonderful, tough policeman from New York, he’s taking good care of us, and he said, ‘Sir, it’s so good. My married life has gotten so much better. Why? My wife thought I was a loser. Financially, I couldn’t make any money because my 401(K) was dying for years, and now she thinks I’m the smartest financial genius ever. It’s made my sex life good. It’s made my life. It’s given me, it’s given me a tremendous boost in life, sir.’ This is a big, tough cop. He said, ‘My wife treated me like a dog, and now she admires my financial genius, and I haven’t done anything, my 401(K) has gone through the roof.’ So I said, thank you very much,” Trump said.

When he was on script, Trump told the audience the oil tanker docked in the Port of Corpus Christi behind him was carrying 360,000 barrels of Venezuelan oil.

“We’re going to keep something for ourselves,” he said. “We’re going to give some to them, and they’re going to make more money than they’ve ever made before.”

In addition to Cornyn, Actor Dennis Quaid accompanied Trump to Corpus Christi on his presidential plane and, at one point during his speech, came on stage to say, “I love Corpus Christi — and I love Donald Trump!”

Trump, donning a “Gulf of America” red baseball cap, similarly used the platform to quip about considering nominating Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to the Supreme Court, criticize Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for heckling him during his State of the Union, and claim he is “entitled” to a third term as president.

“Maybe we do one more term?” he asked. “Should we do one more? One more term? Well, we’re entitled to it because they cheated like hell in the second.”

Trump now heads to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, for a weekend of political meetings and fundraisers, stopping at a Whataburger fast-food chain en route to the airport. “Hamburgers for all!” he shouted to those in the restaurant.
