Donald Trump continues to hold tremendous weight in the Republican Party, and that was felt in Texas this week.

After an endorsement from the 45th President of the United States, Republican contender for Texas’ Sixth Congressional District Susan Wright has advanced to a runoff election, The New York Times reported.

“Susan and Ron Wright have been so incredible,” Trump said during a tele-town hall. “They had this incredible relationship, and unfortunately Ron passed away, and he is looking down and he is so proud of Susan because this is exactly what he would’ve wanted her to do.”

“Susan Wright will be a terrific Congresswoman (TX-06) for the Great State of Texas. She is the wife of the late Congressman Ron Wright, who has always been supportive of our America First Policies,” he said in a statement. “Susan will be strong on the Border, Crime, Pro-Life, our brave Military and Vets, and will ALWAYS protect your Second Amendment. Early voting is NOW underway—and the Special Election takes place on Saturday, May 1st. Get out and VOTE! Susan has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
