Texas Gov. Greg Abbott faces seven Republican opponents in the March 1 Republican primary as he seeks a third term leading the Lone Star State. But he has spent most of his campaign attacking the likely Democratic nominee, Beto O'Rourke.
Left-leaning policy proposals pushed by O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman, during his unsuccessful 2020 presidential campaign have become campaign fodder for Abbott in the more conservative state.
Primary oppositionAbbott, whose campaign reported almost $50 million in its coffers as of February 20, faces seven challengers in the GOP primary. They include real estate executive and former state Sen. Don Huffines, former Florida congressman and onetime chairman of the Texas GOP Allen West and conservative commentator Chad Prather.
