- Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday endorsed former President Donald Trump, citing border security and national security as his primary reason for doing so.
- The governor and former president also delivered Thanksgiving meals to Texas National Guard troops, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, and other service members stationed on the border over Thanksgiving in Edinburg, Texas.
- They did so, Abbott said, because the Texas law enforcement officers serving through his border security mission, Operation Lone Star, “should not be here at this time. The only reason they are here is because the president is not securing our border.”
