After nearly all received the Trump endorsement, some Texas House GOP members in tight races appear to have deleted it from their websites

After the blanket endorsement in exchange for voucher votes, some members in competitive areas showcase the endorsement differently and some don’t at all

Some Texas House Republican members who once boasted of receiving President Donald Trump’s endorsement in exchange for their vote in favor of school vouchers are now trying to forget it – or at least maybe they hope voters don’t remember it as Trump’s approval ratings drop to historic lows.

But it’s not universal. Some of those thought to be in competitive districts are still displaying the endorsement on their websites. For others in safe Republican areas, it may not matter one way or another at this point.

According to a search of websites using the Wayback Machine, these members used to prominently display Trump’s endorsement but now they do not.

DMN: As Republican Comptroller Don Huffines vows to cut waste, $3M office renovation is planned

Eckhardt reacted: "Huffines took office and the first thing he did was fire the staff and build himself a ballroom - does that sound familiar? His idea to 'DOGE Texas' is cover for the rich and powerful using your money to expand their C-Suite bathrooms."

The scoop by reporter Aaron Torres in the Dallas Morning News:

A state agency that manages and invests Texas funds plans to spend $3 million renovating Republican Comptroller Don Huffines’ offices, drawing questions about the use of the money as he campaigns against government waste.

Records show Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Co. would pay for the renovation of the comptroller’s executive suite, including office space, conference rooms and a work cafe. The renovation in the Lyndon B. Johnson State Office Building in Austin would retain an executive’s private restroom, storage and break area.

Documents obtained by The Dallas Morning News through an open records request list nearly $2.1 million budgeted for construction, $280,000 for architecture and engineering, $130,500 for project management and nearly $500,000 for contingencies.

President Trump blames Sen. Cornyn and Karl Rove for all the challenges faced by AG Paxton

Mr. Trump wrote, in part, on social media: "Sadly, and very stupidly, John Cornyn, and his Liddle’ Buddy, Super RINO, Karl Rove, are doing everything possible to make it hard for Ken Paxton, the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and one of the Best in the United States, to win the upcoming Midterm Election against a Radical Left Lunatic, James TalaFREAKO, who is the ANTITHESIS of Texas Values. John Cornyn who, after my Endorsement, lost the Primary to Ken by a very wide margin, and Karl Rove, who shouldn’t be allowed to spew his jealousy on FoxNews, should be ashamed of themselves."
