Abbott was elected as governor in 2014 after serving as Texas attorney general since 2002, the longest-serving attorney general in Texas history. The Texas governor is a supporter of former president Donald Trump , even announcing his endorsement of the 2024 presidential candidate in November 2023.
Abbott has frequently stood in the spotlight over immigration policy , and he used his RNC speech to recount some of those incidents. He boasted about busing migrants to sanctuary cities and doubling down on razor wire installations along the border.
