Overview

  • Trump announced the endorsement on Truth Social, and Teixeira shared a screenshot of the post on X.
  • Teixeira said he had an “excellent” phone call with Trump and publicly thanked him for the support.
  • The 21st District seat is open because Rep. Chip Roy is running for Texas Attorney General in 2026.
  • Teixeira, a three-time MLB All-Star and 2009 World Series champion who retired in 2016, has pledged to advance Trump’s America First agenda.
  • The endorsement arrives ahead of key dates that include the March 3 primary, a May 26 GOP runoff, and the Nov. 3 midterm election, with reporting noting Trump’s past endorsements have often prevailed.
