The Texas Tribune reported on Trump’s big win in the Lone Star state:
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won their Texas primaries on Tuesday, propelling them closer to a rematch in the November presidential election.
Both men easily carried the state, the AP declared shortly after the last polls closed in Texas at 8 p.m. Central Time. Biden faced no viable challengers in the Democratic primary. And Trump defeated his last challenger, Nikki Haley.
Trump’s victory in Texas was not always a foregone conclusion. After the 2022 midterms, Republicans blamed Trump for significant losses, and many prominent state leaders were hesitant to endorse the former president, who also faced mounting legal problems. A November 2022 poll showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis leading Trump.
The Hill added:
Former President Trump won Texas’s GOP primary Tuesday, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ, boosting his Super Tuesday dominance.
Trump’s win in ruby-red Texas gives him firm footing in southern conservative states, where he is expected to sweep this campaign. The former president has focused much of his campaign on immigration and blaming President Biden for the influx at migrants at the U.S.-southern border, which is a message that is expected to strongly resonate with Texans.
