Bo French, a nutter even by Tex-ass GOP standards, defeated incumbent Jim Wright in the Texas Railroad Commission Rethuglican runoff. That's despite Strangeabbott, and others, endorsing Wright.
More on his degree of nuttery and the runoff at Inside Climate News.
Side note: Despite the Monthly wondering if Farris Wilks should be on the side of a milk carton, which led to jokes by me earlier this month, Wilks as well as Tim Dunn, with personal money as well as PAC money, was there for both the original round and the runoff.
And, of course, because that's the way he rolls, Strangeabbott was a big old crow-eating hypocrite after French won:
While the United States’ war in Iran has provided a boost to the Texas oil industry, Abbott warned during a campaign event earlier this month that French’s agenda would “wreck” Texas oil and gas. He went on to say that Republicans can’t assume victory in the general election. “All of these elections are going to be close in November,” he said.
Wednesday morning, Abbott struck a different tone when he congratulated French.
“Republicans are UNITED and ready to win in November to keep Texas, TEXAS!” Abbott wrote on his campaign X account.
Shock me.

Beyond that, Abbott-endorsed Abraham Enriquez lost in the 19th CD runoff and nutter state Sen. Briscoe Cain, also endorsed by Strangeabbott, lost to Alex Mealer. Cain was laughably called a "liberal lightweight" by a super PAC funding Mealer. I'm still not sure how much some PACs and super PACs believe their claims.
