After a decisive reelection win, you might expect to see Gov. Abbott gearing up to run for president, like Rick Perry and George W. Bush before him. But Donald Trump’s campaign is having a discouraging effect on would-be candidates. | via texasstandard
Whether or not Gov. Greg Abbott runs for president, the speculation and the attention he gets only further raises his profile, says Joshua Blank, the director of research for UT Austin's Texas Politics Project.
Do you think the national Republican Party leaders have been eyeing him as a possible standout future national leader? And if so, why? What other Texas politicians are eyeing the 2024 presidential race, and how do they compare to Abbott? I think it affects them a lot less than it might have six or eight months ago. After midterm elections that are largely being interpreted as a negative evaluation of the president’s impact on the party, because of the failure of a lot of his hand-picked candidates, a lot of Republican presidential contenders who may have been less likely to run now are reevaluating their chances.
Well, I think that’s really the million dollar question. I think when we’re looking at the political futures of someone like Gov. Abbott or Sen. Cruz or Gov. DeSantis, ultimately this is what they’re trying to handicap — what the lane is they can fill, and whether or not there’s enough room for them in a presidential primary that includes not only the former president, but potentially some of these other candidates.
