一位突出支持唐纳德·特朗普总统及其MAGA议程的共和党州参议员距离接替肯·帕克斯顿出任得克萨斯州总检察长又近了一步。
据美联社报道，州参议员梅斯·米德尔顿周二击败了美国众议院最保守议员之一的众议员奇普·罗伊，赢得了得克萨斯州共和党总检察长提名。
罗伊与独立石油天然气公司总裁米德尔顿之间的竞选斗争激烈且耗资巨大，在一定程度上变成了一场考验，看哪位候选人更能为特朗普及其“美国优先”和MAGA运动而战。

米德尔顿在3月初的初选中以微弱优势领先罗伊，他自掏腰包约1700万美元支持自己的竞选活动。而曾担任得克萨斯州助理总检察长、保守派参议员特德·克鲁兹前幕僚长的罗伊，则在最后阶段获得了主要支持者的大额捐款。
“我们已经获得了必要的资金支持，能够与我的这位自掏腰包的对手竞争，他可以动用自己继承来的钱随便花，”罗伊在 runoff 选举前夜接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时强调道。
罗伊认为，米德尔顿缺乏法庭经验，这会让他无法胜任总检察长一职。
“我曾担任第一助理总检察长，这让我可以上任第一天就能履职，而且我还做过检察官，上过法庭，坐在法官面前、站在法官面前辩论过案件，而这些他从来都没有做过。我们认为这些资质至关重要，”罗伊着重指出。

米德尔顿对此予以反驳，质疑罗伊的保守派资质，并投放广告宣称罗伊“背叛了MAGA”，指出这位国会议员曾多次在政策问题上与特朗普分道扬镳。
“奇普·罗伊花了十年时间与总统作对。他甚至曾在众议院 floor 上表示特朗普总统的行为应当被弹劾，”米德尔顿告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“与其花十年时间与特朗普总统作对，我做了什么？我花了十年时间与左翼势力作战，这才是这场选举中最重要的事。”

但罗伊回应称：“所有人都知道，我长期以来一直捍卫并支持总统的议程、美国优先议程以及MAGA议程，但我同时也是一个独立思考者，会站出来阐明立场。”
他矛头直指米德尔顿，指责道：“MAGA不是你花钱就能买到的东西。我的对手却认为可以买下这个品牌。”
米德尔顿随即回击，辩称“奇普·罗伊宣称自己是特朗普总统的核心盟友，但事实恰恰相反。”
特朗普在这场 runoff 对决中保持中立。

米德尔顿大概率将面临民主党州参议员内森·约翰逊的挑战，约翰逊在初选中险些拿下本党提名。当时他的对手是前加尔维斯顿市市长乔·贾沃斯基。
帕克斯顿决定不再寻求连任，转而参选共和党参议院提名，挑战长期任职的共和党参议员约翰·康尼恩。

Taking aim at his rival for the GOP Texas Attorney General nomination on the eve of the runoff, Rep. Chip Roy told Fox News Digital, “MAGA is not something you just buy. My opponent thinks you can buy the brand.”

A Republican state senator who spotlighted his support for President Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda is one step closer to succeeding Ken Paxton as Texas attorney general.
State Sen. Mayes Middleton on Tuesday defeated Rep. Chip Roy, one of the most conservative members of the U.S. House, for the Republican attorney general nomination in Texas, the Associated Press reports.
The ballot-box battle between Roy and Middleton, the president of an independent oil and gas company, turned bitter and expensive, and partially became a test of which candidate was more of a fighter for Trump and his America First and MAGA movements.

Middleton, who edged Roy in the March primary, dished out roughly $17 million of his own money to back his campaign. But Roy, a former Texas assistant attorney general and former chief of staff to conservative Sen. Ted Cruz, received a late surge in fundraising from major backers.
“We’ve gotten the financial support necessary to compete with my self-funder opponent, who’s got his inheritance money that he can just spend,” Roy highlighted in a Fox News Digital interview on the eve of the runoff.
Roy argued that Middleton’s lack of courtroom experience would make him a poor attorney general.
“Having been the first assistant attorney general makes me ready on day one, but it’s also that I’ve been a prosecutor, I’ve been in court, I’ve sat in front of a judge, stood in front of a judge, argued cases, and he has never done any of those things. And we think those things should matter,” Roy emphasized.

Middleton pushed back, questioning Roy’s conservative credentials and running ads claiming Roy’s “betrayed MAGA” as he pointed to the times the congressman has broken with Trump over policy.
“Chip Roy is someone that has spent a decade fighting the president. He actually said President Trump committed impeachable conduct on the House floor,” Middleton told Fox News Digital. “Instead of spending 10 years fighting President Trump, what have I done? I’ve spent 10 years fighting to defeat the left, which is what matters the most in this race.”

But Roy, in response, said, “Everyone knows that I’m a longtime defender and supporter of the president’s agenda, of the America First agenda, the MAGA agenda, but I’m also an independent thinker who will stand up and make the case.”
And pointing to Middleton, Roy charged, “MAGA is not something you just buy. My opponent thinks you can buy the brand.”
Middleton returned fire, arguing, “Chip Roy is putting out there that he is a top ally to President Trump when the exact opposite is the case.”
Trump stayed neutral in the runoff showdown.

Middleton will likely face Democratic state Sen. Nathan Johnson, who came close to clinching his party’s nomination in the primary. Johnson was facing off against former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski.
Paxton decided against seeking re-election, as he ran for the Republican Senate nomination against longtime GOP Sen. John Cornyn.
