Episode Details

Texas Republicans have chosen Mayes Middleton, a state senator, as their next attorney general after a heated runoff against Chip Roy. Middleton edged out Roy with 39% to 32% in the March primary, positioning himself as the more Trump-aligned candidate and criticizing Roy for past stances like supporting impeachment and praising Liz Cheney. Roy pushed back, calling Middleton’s claims inaccurate, but voters sided with Middleton. Now, Middleton will face State Senator Nathan Johnson in the November general election to fill the seat vacated by Ken Paxton, who’s running for U.S. Senate.
