Gohmert comes up short in bid for Texas attorney general - Roll Call

Texas Louie Gohmert Roll Call Ken Paxton Donald Trump

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert’s decision to give up a safe Republican seat in the House take on a troubled state attorney general ended in defeat Tuesday, when he finished last in a four-person primary.

A firebrand who led pre-Jan. 6 efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and has since denounced the “un-American and illegal treatment” of people detained after the riots, Gohmert decided to take on state Attorney General Ken Paxton, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump himself who was facing mounting legal troubles.

Gohmert was fourth, with 17 percent of the vote, while Paxton led with 43 percent and was headed toward a runoff against state Land Commissioner George P. Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and grandson of former President George H.W. Bush.
