Texas Governor Greg Abbott delved into a political tussle within the Republican party, endorsing Representative Tony Gonzales, who represents a state district and has been at odds with a faction of the party.
The Texas Tribune reported that Abbott praised Gonzales for fighting for border security measures in Congress. "He represents more than two-thirds of the Texas-Mexico border and knows the dangerous consequences that President Joe Biden's reckless open border policies have on our state—and our nation," Abbott said in a statement.
