Gov. Abbott announced his endorsement of the former president in an address to law enforcement.
“We need a president who’s going to secure the border. We need a president who’s going to restore law and order in the United States of America, not letting these criminals ransack over the stores you see images of almost nightly. We need a president who’s going to restore world peace as opposed to this outbreak of warfare under Joe Biden. We need Donald J. Trump back as our President of the United States of America,” Abbott declared.
