10 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Mayes Middleton defeated Chip Roy in the Texas Republican runoff for the attorney general nomination. Left-leaning outlets connect Roy’s loss to his relationship with Trump as a campaign issue. Center outlets frame the contest as a test of Trump’s influence and highlight Middleton’s alignment with him. Right-leaning outlets mostly focus on the result, though some cast it as a win for MAGA- or Trump-aligned politics and one sharply criticizes Roy.
