Texas TribuneFormer President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Texas two days before early voting starts for the November election.
The rally will be Saturday in Robstown, outside Corpus Christi on the Gulf Coast. Republicans are targeting districts in the area as they try to take over South Texas’ congressional seats.
The rally will start at 7 p.m. at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds, according to a media advisory. Trump's team announced Tuesday that additional speakers would include Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Gov. Greg Abbott said he would not be able to attend due to an out-of-state fundraising trip.
The advisory said Trump would speak “in support of his unprecedented effort to advance the MAGA agenda by energizing voters and highlighting the slate of 33-0 Trump Endorsed America First candidates in the Great State of Texas.” The 33-0 figure refers to his endorsement record in the Texas primaries and runoff earlier this year, which included some incumbents who faced nominal or no opposition.
Among Trump’s endorsees is Abbott who is fighting against Democrat Beto O'Rourke for a third term.
"I welcome President Trump back to Texas, though I won’t be able to welcome him personally since I will be out-of-state for a pre-planned fundraising trip to Florida," Abbott said in a statement.
Trump carried Texas twice, but he is not particularly popular these days. The latest poll from the University of Texas at Austin found that 41 percent of registered voters had a favorable opinion of Trump, while 50 percent had an unfavorable opinion.
The advisory said Trump would speak “in support of his unprecedented effort to advance the MAGA agenda by energizing voters and highlighting the slate of 33-0 Trump Endorsed America First candidates in the Great State of Texas.”
But Trump remains popular with the GOP base, though, and his endorsement was highly sought-after during the primaries. His last rally in Texas was ahead of the March primary, and it was held in the Houston suburbs. Abbott spoke at that rally.
In addition to Patrick and Paxton, the Saturday rally's speakers will include U.S. Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Victoria; Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Trump; and Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council.
The speaking list did not include any candidates from the South Texas races that Republicans are targeting. Among them, Trump has endorsed Monica De La Cruz, a Republican running for an open seat that runs from the Rio Grande Valley up to outside San Antonio.
(Backers of Vicente Gonzalez, Democratic party candidate for U.S. Rep. District 34, say Republican Mayra Flores is expected to attend and seek his endorsement in that race.)

He said that the check point was a racist republican idea and has kept many rapist murderers and thieves away from the mainland...
"I don't need no stinkin' meskin vote", was overheard by a local meskin coco voter.
Several students from the University of Texas in Austin were recently interviewed on campus and asked whom they were going to vote for as governor. The great majority stated they were voting for Francis. Which is fine. However, when asked why, they couldn’t answer. They were totally lost, yet they were going to vote. The students and the university looked really stupid on camera. Students from our local college could have done better. How much does a Bachelors degree from UT Austin cost to produce idiots? Only one student from India stood out. He was well versed on politics and the accomplishments of both candidates.
Save America, from Trump that is. Worst president in the history of the USA.
