Naturally, the day after I put up my guide to Texas House Republican primary races, President Trump drops a bunch more endorsements.

As early voting begins in the Republican primary election in Texas, former President Donald Trump has issued a series of endorsements of candidates running for the Texas Legislature.

In a series of posts on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump revealed the endorsements, which included four challengers to incumbent members he called “RINOs” (Republicans in Name Only).

Those candidates include:

Mike Olcott, challenging State Rep. Glenn Rogers (R–Staford) in House District 60

Helen Kerwin, challenging State Rep. DeWayne Burns (R–Cleburne) in House District 58

Alan Schoolcraft, challenging State Rep. John Kuempel (R–Seguin) in House District 44

Liz Case, challenging State Rep. Stan Lambert (R–Abilene) in House District 61 [Note: This is typo. Case is running in District 71. — LP]

Trump gave his “complete and total endorsement” to each candidate, citing their opponents’ votes to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton and opposition to school choice as reasons for doing so.

Additionally, Trump endorsed Brent Hagenbuch for the open Senate District 30 being vacated by retiring State Sen. Drew Springer (R–Muenster).

After I post this, I’m going to go back and add the Trump endorsements to yesterday’s roundup.
