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. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
