Yankees Great Wins U.S. House Primary, But It’s Not So Great For Democrats | EUROtoday

Former New York Yankee Mark Teixeira gained a Republican House major in Texas on Tuesday, pledging to drive house his Donald Trump-loving insurance policies to victory in November.

Teixeira, a member of New York’s final World Series-winning crew in 2009, hit 409 homers from 2003 to 2016 for a number of groups within the majors. He collected 39 house runs and 122 RBIs within the Bronx championship season.

“This is a huge victory, and I’m truly honored to have such strong support from the people of TX-21. Thank you! I’m so grateful to everyone who voted, put in the work, donated, and especially prayed for us along the way. My amazing family has been by my side every step of the way – my wonderful wife Leigh and our three kids – and I’m blessed by their support as I prepare to serve the country we love. We’re going to run a strong race and win big in November, then hit the ground running to fight for Texas families.”

An advert Teixeira shared on election day summed up his embrace of Trump’s immigration crackdown and opposition to trans athletes in sports activities and gun reform. “I’ll never let ’em take our guns,” stated Teixeira, who invested $2.5 million of his personal cash into the marketing campaign.

His assist for Trump’s immigration insurance policies echoed poorly a day after Renee Good was shot and killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis.

“I stand with ICE,” Teixeira wrote.
