Texas Gov. Greg Abbott faces growing group of Republican long-shot challengers

Texas’ Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is facing a list of Republican challengers in his re-election bid despite receiving the coveted endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
Former Florida congressman Allen West has joined former Texas state senator Don Huffines, conservative political commentator Chad Prather, and criminal defense attorney Paul Belew in the race to defeat Abbott and have brought Abbott’s initial coronavirus response to the forefront of the debate.
