川普再现德州政坛
前总统川普再次支持德州现任检察长帕登竞选连任, 而放弃对布希家族之支持, 川普在一项声明中指出, 帕登强烈支持边界筑墙 ,反暴力和支持宪法精神。
布希家族长期以来就和川普不和 ,这位老布希总统的孙子小小布希宣布他将参选州检察长一职, 但是他在二O一六年及二O二O年都曾支持共和党的川普一直不断参选总统 ,小布希目前是德州土地局局长, 他被视為共和党明日之星, 他的父亲曾任佛罗里达州州长 ,祖父曾任美国总统 ,其生母是墨西哥裔 ,对他在政治上是一大助力。
德州仍然是共和党之地盘,川普对德州仍然有很大的影响力, 但是现任检察总长因証券丑闻正在接受联邦调查局调查中。
美国新政府虽上任不到七个月, 全国各地已有弥漫政治气氛, 川普一直不断煽风点火, 继续在各地募款希望东山再起。
小小布希是布希家族的政治火苗, 他是否获胜是是否可延续政治香火的指标。
Trump Snubs Bush In Texas Politics
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his re-election bid and refuses to support the Bush family.
In a statement Trump said, “Ken is strong on crime, border security, the Second Amendment, Election Integrity and above all, our Constitution. He is a true Texan who will keep Texas safe.”
George P. Bush, who is the current Texas Land Commissioner, will run for Attorney General. He is the son of Jeb Bush, nephew of former President George W. Bush and the grandson of President George H.W. Bush.
Trump still continues to influence Texas politics and Paxton, an ally of Trump, has been state attorney general since 2015 and led a 20-state challenge against the Affordable Care Act.
He is currently under an FBI investigation for securities fraud.
The Bush and Trump families have clashed over the years, including the 2016 presidential primary when Governor Jeb Bush was running for the Republican presidential nomination.
This is a political test for the Bush family in Texas. Young Bush is considered a rising star in the Republican Party.
