The Federalist Former President Donald Trump swept the state of Texas Tuesday night as he cruises toward the Republican nomination.
With roughly half of votes reported, Trump led Haley with more than 75 percent of the vote on Tuesday night, leading outlets to call the state — which, with its 161 delegates, is the second-largest delegate state — for the former president. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley continued on her losing streak, receiving slightly more than 19 percent of the vote at the time of reporting.
President Joe Biden is projected to take the states’ 244 delegates in the Democrat primary, but at publication time had received less than half the number of votes Trump received (486,597 votes compared to Trump’s 1,003,333, with between 56 and 58 percent of votes reported in both primaries, according to NBC News).
Texas Republicans also considered propositions that expressed support for creating a “Border Protection Unit,” preventing “the employment of illegal aliens,” ending “all subsidies and public services” for illegals aliens, petitioning Congress “not to grant any form of amnesty” to illegal border-crossers, and requiring “proof of citizenship before an individual can be registered to vote.” With roughly 11 percent of the vote tallied on the proposition votes, all five of the border-related propositions were garnering between 84 and 96 percent support.
