WARROOM BREAKING: AARON REITZ ANNOUNCES HE’S RUNNING FOR AG OF TEXAS; RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT FROM KEN PAXTON
, Steve Bannon highlighted President Trump’s aggressive, "maximalist” approach to advancing conservative priorities, introducing Aaron Reitz, former Deputy to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as a key figure in the fight. Reitz detailed his background, emphasizing his presidentially nominated, Senate-confirmed role at the Justice Department and his frontline experience coordinating Texas’s legal battles against the Biden Administration. He framed his campaign to succeed Paxton as essential to maintaining a high-powered conservative legal offensive in Texas, stressing the national implications of the race.
Reitz described Texas as the strategic "front line” in the fight against the left, where his leadership as Attorney General would protect constitutional rights, block liberal policies, and integrate deeply with the Trump Administration’s agenda. He highlighted the state’s recently redrawn congressional maps, five new Republican-leaning seats, and ongoing legal battles against left-wing lawsuits, reinforcing the need for a tested "Mega attorney” in office.
Bannon and Reitz repeatedly emphasized the contrast between pro-Trump, America First candidates and establishment or anti-MAGA opponents. Reitz positioned himself as uniquely prepared to continue Paxton’s legacy and safeguard Texas as a conservative stronghold, framing the Attorney General race as a national-level battle with long-term consequences for the Republican agenda and the 2026 midterms.
