Abbott won easily in 2022 against former Rep. Beto O&#8217;Rourke (D-TX). <\/p>\n<p> This election cycle Trump is facing off against fellow Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and four other Republican candidates. Abbott similarly endorsed Trump ahead of the 2020 election and even supported an audit of the election in Texas \u2014 despite Trump winning the state with similar numbers to those of 2016. <\/p>\n<p> Currently, Abbott is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nine-states-and-d-c-still-have-mask-mandates-in-place\/\" title=\"Nine States and D.C.
