Mayes Middleton defeats U.S. Rep. Chip Roy in the Texas Republican runoff for attorney general, according to multiple reports. The race is described as a bitter, high-spending contest centered on conservative and MAGA-aligned politics. In the campaign leading into the runoff, Middleton and his allies attack Roy over his past criticism of President Donald Trump, a line emphasized by The New York Times. Fox News similarly frames the runoff as the conclusion of an internal “MAGA battle,” with Middleton prevailing after Roy falls short in the attorney general bid. With the primary runoff decided, Middleton moves on to the general election as the Republican nominee for Texas attorney general. The sources collectively describe the outcome as a significant shift in the Republican field for the statewide office, with Middleton securing the nomination following the runoff.
