Former New York Yankee<\/a> Mark Teixeira won a Republican House primary in Texas on Tuesday, pledging to drive home his Donald Trump<\/a>-loving policies to victory in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Teixeira, a member of New York\u2019s last World Series-winning team in 2009, hit 409 homers from 2003 to 2016 for several teams <\/a>in the majors. He collected 39 home runs and 122 RBIs in the Bronx championship season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is a huge victory<\/a>, and I\u2019m truly honored to have such strong support from the people of TX-21. Thank you! I\u2019m 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 \u2013 my wonderful wife Leigh and our three kids \u2013 and I\u2019m blessed by their support as I prepare to serve the country we love. We\u2019re going to run a strong race and win big in November, then hit the ground running to fight for Texas families.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An ad Teixeira shared on election day summed up his embrace of Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown and opposition to trans athletes in sports and gun reform. \u201cI\u2019ll never let \u2019em take our guns,\u201d said Teixeira, who invested $2.5 million of his own money<\/a> into the campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His support for Trump\u2019s immigration policies echoed poorly a day after Renee Good was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI stand with ICE,\u201d Teixeira wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
