Gov. Abbott Expected to Endorse Trump During Border Visit

The endorsement comes as both Republicans focus on immigration issues, with Trump proposing to revive hardline policies and Texas passing a controversial immigration bill.

• Texas Governor Greg Abbott is expected to endorse former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination during their joint visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday.
• Trump and Abbott will be discussing future plans for curbing illegal immigration during their visit.
• Trump has recently escalated his immigration rhetoric, proposing to revive many of his first-term immigration policies, including reinstating and expanding a travel ban and bringing back a Covid-era policy known as Title 42.
• Texas has been engaged in a legal battle with the Biden administration over its efforts to curb illegal immigration. The Texas legislature recently passed a bill allowing state law enforcement to arrest suspected undocumented immigrants.
• Trump is currently the front-runner for the Republican 2024 nomination, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley vying for a distant second place in the polls.
