Impact Analysis

Don’t read this delay as indecision—it’s calculated risk management. By waiting until after the Texas primary to endorse, Trump is preserving political capital and avoiding a potential loss record if the vote splits. He’s effectively betting on the house rather than a specific horse.Zhitong

But look at the bigger picture. He’s in Texas—‘friendly territory’—doubling down on energy policy right as his media company (DJT) explores a spinoff/merger focused on AI power demand.Sina Finance This isn’t a coincidence. He’s aligning his political influence with a massive infrastructure and energy capex cycle.

The trade? Ignore the specific candidate noise. The signal is a green light for Texas-heavy energy producers and grid infrastructure plays. He needs the Texas GOP machine unified to deliver on this ‘AI power’ narrative. The lack of political infighting now implies smoother deregulation later.
