Minutes before Trump called Texas attorney general candidate Louie Gohmert a long time friend, he endorsed his opponent, incumbent Ken Paxton, at the Save America rally.
Trump praised Paxton as abrave, popular and strong leader who has really led the way, adding that he has his complete and total endorsement.
During his speech, Trump said that Louie Gohmert was a friend of his. Thank you very much, Louie. I saw you there. He is very distinctive with his face.

Land Commissioner George P. Bush, former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman, and state Rep are all vying for the same job.
The Texas Tribune reported that the campaign for the March primary has focused on Gohmert, who it has targeted in mailers and attack ads on television and social media.
In recent weeks, the District Attorney's Office of the state of Texas has been trying to get records related to his appearance at Donald Trump's rally prior to the Capitol riot. The office of the district attorney stated in a January 13 letter that he had broken the law and may face a lawsuit for not turning over the records.
