U.S. President Donald Trump on September 1 posted on social media platform X, formally endorsing “MAGA” Mayes Middleton for the next Attorney General of Texas. Trump described Middleton as a 7th-generation Texan, dedicated rancher, highly respected state senator, and successful president of Middleton Oil Company, with a career “loaded up” with accolades and wins.
In the post, Trump highlighted that Middleton contributed 6.4 million votes for him in 2024 (the most in history, BY FAR), and noted Middleton’s wife Martha Ann and four children. Trump pledged that Middleton would work tirelessly to ensure law and order, champion law enforcement and first responders, support military and veterans, safeguard elections, secure the border, stop migrant crime, uphold the Constitution, keep men out of women’s sports, and protect the Second Amendment.
“MAGA Mayes Middleton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Attorney General of Texas — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote.
