President Trump urged Texans to vote for Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate in an October 22 Truth Social statement that also endorsed Republican candidates for statewide offices and 30 congressional districts. For working families, the immediate stake is the Texas ballot: the post is a call for turnout, not a new federal policy, oil action, or change in law.
In the Truth Social post, the President wrote: “TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF TEXAS, GET OUT AND VOTE FOR: – Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate.” He said the candidates on his list have his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”
Who did Trump endorse in Texas?
The President named Paxton for U.S. Senate, Greg Abbott for governor, Dan Patrick for lieutenant governor, Mayes Middleton for attorney general, Don Huffines for comptroller, and Dawn Buckingham for land commissioner. He also listed Republican candidates for U.S. House seats across Texas.
| Office | Candidate named in the post |
|---|---|
| U.S. Senate | Ken Paxton |
| Governor | Greg Abbott |
| Lieutenant Governor | Dan Patrick |
| Attorney General | Mayes Middleton |
| Comptroller | Don Huffines |
| Land Commissioner | Dawn Buckingham |
For Congress, the statement names candidates in TX-01 through TX-06 and TX-08 through TX-15, TX-17, TX-19, and TX-21 through TX-28, plus TX-31, TX-32, TX-34 through TX-36, and TX-38. The full candidate list is in the President’s Texas endorsement post.
What did the post say about voting dates?
The post says in-person early voting opened in Texas on October 19 and continues through October 30. It also tells voters with mail-in ballots to return them and directs voters to a Texas voting-location link. Those are turnout instructions from the President’s statement; the post itself does not create an election rule or change a voting deadline.
What has Trump done here—and what has not happened yet?
What happened is clear: the President publicly endorsed Paxton and the other named Republicans, and urged Texas voters to turn out. The endorsement is political support, not an appointment or an election result. Voters still decide each race at the ballot box.
The statement also contains no announcement of a fuel shortage, a Strategic Petroleum Reserve release, action in the Strait of Hormuz, gas-price policy, Iran fuel pricing, world oil reserves, Cyprus policy, or a Truth Social ownership or stock action. Readers looking for the President’s separate energy remarks can read trump gas price claims on Truth Social.
Why this Texas endorsement matters
Texas is being asked to choose its Senate, statewide, and congressional representation. Trump’s post puts Paxton at the top of a broad Republican slate and asks supporters to vote “UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT.” For readers tracking the President’s direct statements, compare this election message with trump truth social claims and trump’s Ohio rally claims.
