  • The start of the legislative session on Tuesday should bring the resolution of a contentious battle for power in the Texas House of Representatives. Lawmakers in the chamber will vote to choose the next House Speaker,

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing political maneuvering in Texas regarding the election of the Texas House Speaker. Attorney General Ken Paxton, along with other GOP members, are intensifying efforts to influence the vote against the current Speaker, Dade Phelan. Paxton, who faces an impeachment trial, has publicly criticized Phelan for not supporting him and has endorsed a primary challenger against him. This pressure campaign includes Paxton and his allies urging Republican House members to vote for a new speaker, arguing that Phelan has not been conservative enough and has allowed Democrats too much influence in the House.
