On June 4, 2021, Texas Republican Party chairman Allen West announced his resignation as party chair,[1] which was seen at the time as a possible prelude to a primary challenge to incumbent Governor Greg Abbott, given West's record of vociferous criticism of Abbott's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas.[2] The history of conflict between West and Abbott included a lawsuit by West and other Republicans in which they challenged Abbott's extension of the early voting period in 2020 and a protest outside the Governor's Mansion over pandemic-related shutdowns.[3] Both West and another GOP primary challenger, Don Huffines, are further to the right of Governor Abbott.[4][5]
Texas does not have gubernatorial term limits. All statewide elected offices are currently held by Republicans, including all judicial positions on the two courts of last resort for civil and criminal matters. In his most recent gubernatorial race in 2018, Abbott won with 55.8% of the vote.[6]
