Texas GOP Infighting Intensifies Ahead of Primaries

Governor Abbott's Record-Breaking War Chest Targets House Republicans Opposing His School Voucher Program

Governor Greg Abbott has amassed a war chest of $38 million, including a $6 million donation from Pennsylvania billionaire Jeff Yass, the largest single donation in Texas history.
Abbott is determined to unseat House Republicans who opposed his school voucher program, and has already endorsed half of the primary challengers to those 16 Republicans.
Attorney General Ken Paxton is also seeking to unseat House Republicans who voted to impeach him, but his financial backing is uncertain.
House Speaker Dade Phelan and his allies have tens of millions of dollars at their disposal to defend House Republicans against Abbott and Paxton.
Despite the political infighting, all parties are united in their goal to keep Texas under Republican control.
