Dan Patrick (R) announced that Trump went 12-0 in his Texas primary endorsements.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI am proud to tell you that every candidate I asked you to endorse won or is solidly in first place going into a runoff. You were 12-0 with your Texas endorsements last night from my list of recommendations,\u201d said Patrick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour key endorsement of strong conservative candidates, who believe in the MAGA policies, who worked hard every day for months was a winning combination over their opponents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick noted that he received \u201cmore votes than any person on the ballot,\u201d ending with 1.4 million votes and 300,000 more votes than what he received in the 2018 primaries.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt appears to be an all-time record for any candidate ever in a Texas contested primary. I used your endorsement in all of our ads, mailers and was pinned to the top of my Facebook page for months,\u201d said Dan Patrick.<\/p>\n<p>Other examples included Ryan Guillen, a former border region Democrat who became Republican, who won with 54 percent of the vote in a three-way race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is the bold Democrat that changes parties in the border region,\u201d an enthusiastic Dan Patrick said. \u201cThat is something you should be very proud of. That was a historic win that will open the door for more conservative Hispanic Democrats to switch parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the four-way attorney general\u2019s race, the Trump-endorsed Ken Paxton came out in first place and will face Texas land commissioner George P. Bush in a run-off come May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaxton led the four-candidate field by a comfortable margin, despite feisty and well-funded challenges from Bush, former state Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman and Rep. Louie Gohmert,\u201d noted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/03\/01\/politics\/2022-texas-primary-election-key-races\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More victories of Trump-endorsed candidates, per Dan Patrick:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Kevin Sparks, the oilman in West Texas, won in a four-way race with nearly 54% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Mayes Middleton won in a four-way race with 56% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Abbot won with 66% in an eight-way race.<\/p>\n<p>I won with 76% of the vote in a six-way race and, as noted, had highest vote total of any candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Glen Hegar won easily in a two-way race.<\/p>\n<p>Angela Paxton won 65% in a two-way race.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Texas Election Update from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanPatrick?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DanPatrick<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZB6g0ltbvB\">pic.twitter.com\/ZB6g0ltbvB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Natalie Harp (@NatalieJHarp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NatalieJHarp\/status\/1499174389497008128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 3, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Texas held the first primaries leading up to the 2022 mid-terms, during which Republicans could take back control of the House and the Senate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Trump\u2019s sway over the electorate was demonstrated in the Texas primaries on Tuesday night when all of his endorsed candidates either won or are in first place for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1355959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1355959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1355959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1355959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1355959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1355959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1355959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
