President Donald Trump announced Saturday on Truth Social that he endorsed Leigh Wamsganss, COO of Patriot Mobile, for a hotly contested Texas state senate seat. The state is holding special elections for the seat that Wamsganss is running for and Texas’s 18th Congressional district, where two Democrats are competing to succeed late Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-TX) in the House.

“My very good friend, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, needs a strong conservative Republican in SD-9 to KEEP TEXAS RED!” Trump wrote about the state senate race on social media. “The Radical Left Democrats are spending a fortune to beat a true MAGA Warrior, Leigh Wambsganss. You can win this Election for Leigh, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement.”
