On January 11, 2026, Middleton commented on Texas’s appeal to college football players, stating, “As college football players are making decisions, Texas teams have an advantage when they tell players we don’t have a state income tax – a constitutional amendment I was proud to vote for and help pass. “
The following day, January 12, he posted about a meeting with local political figures: “Great visit with State Rep. @joannefortexans and the Nacogdoches County Republican Women today. Thank you for all you’ve done to support President Trump and Keep Texas Red! https://t.co/jwQsZvk0bW”
