Instead, he plans to participate in a fundraiser in Hallandale Beach, Florida, aiming to gather support and financial backing for MAGA, Inc., the super PAC endorsing his potential 2024 presidential bid.

At an event in Edinburg, Texas, Governor Abbott voiced his support for Trump, stating, "We need Donald J. Trump back as our President of the United States of America," according to CNN.
