On the final day of runoff voting in Texas, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds (R) endorsed Rep. Chip Roy (R) in the Texas attorney general race, urging voters to support the congressman in a video message.
Rep. Donalds, who is currently running for governor of Florida, praised Rep. Roy's conservative credentials and highlighted their years serving together in Congress and the House Freedom Caucus.
"Good morning, Texas, it's Byron Donalds," said Donalds in the video. "Look, you have a big election today to choose your next attorney general, and that person needs to be Chip Roy."
Donalds continued by calling Roy "tough as nails" and "a true conservative."
