Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) predicted Monday that his state would go for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump because voting “none of the above” wasn’t an option.
“As we work our pathway forward, we do have a choice. It’s not like ‘none of the above’ is a potential option. And we see the devastation that Hillary Clinton would wreck upon the United States of America. She would be far worse than just an extension of the Obama agenda,” Abbott said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” arguing that Clinton would make illegal immigration over the southern border “even worse.”
Abbott said he’s made it “clear from the very beginning” that he would support the Republican Party’s nominee, but didn’t mention Trump by name.
After the “Morning Joe” hosts noted that omission, Abbott responded, “Donald Trump is going to win the state of Texas.”
