美国得克萨斯州共和党参议员泰德·克鲁兹已支持得克萨斯州州议员史蒂夫·托特，后者将在孤星州第二国会选区共和党初选中挑战现任美国众议员丹·克伦肖。
克鲁兹在X平台上的帖子中表示：“我很自豪地支持@SteveTothTX 竞选得克萨斯州第二国会选区的议员。史蒂夫在得克萨斯州众议院忠实地为得克萨斯州人民服务，捍卫了我们得克萨斯州自由、有限政府和宪法治理的价值观。”
他继续说道：“史蒂夫是学校选择、财政责任和美国下一代的坚定捍卫者。华盛顿需要大胆的领导和在任何时候都能为得克萨斯人挺身而出的代表。”
随后他补充道：“史蒂夫有经验、有勇气、有信念做到这一点。我很荣幸支持他的竞选活动，并敦促得克萨斯州第二国会选区的选民与我一道，选举史蒂夫·托特进入国会。”
尽管总统唐纳德·特朗普尚未在此竞选中表态支持，但他此前在2022年和2024年曾支持托特竞选得克萨斯州众议院议员。

特朗普在2024年Truth Social的帖子中写道：“州议员史蒂夫·托特在代表得克萨斯州第15选区方面做得非常出色。作为一名小企业主和被按立的牧师，史蒂夫正不知疲倦地为确保我们的选举安全、促进经济增长、消除不必要的监管、加强边境、支持我们伟大的军队/退伍军人以及保护和捍卫我们岌岌可危的第二修正案而奋斗。史蒂夫·托特获得了我的完全支持！”
根据得克萨斯州国务卿网站的信息，得克萨斯州3月3日初选的提前投票最后一天是周五。
