Episode Details

Texas Republicans head to the polls today in a high-stakes runoff for attorney general, pitting State Senator Mayes Middleton against U.S. Rep. Chip Roy. With national attention focused on who’s got the legal chops, Trump loyalty, and future of conservatism, Roy dismisses Middleton’s qualifications, calling him unfit even for an entry-level legal role. Middleton counters by emphasizing his conservative record and executive experience over courtroom credentials. Backed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and MAGA-aligned groups, Middleton’s campaign frames the race as a battle for the soul of the conservative movement — while Roy faces scrutiny over past votes and Trump disagreements. The winner will face off in November, shaping Texas’ legal leadership for years to come.
