After a bruising primary and runoff, the Republican Party of Texas Chairman doesn’t think conservatives are divided.
DALLAS — In the 2024 Republican Primary and Primary runoff, 16 incumbents lost to insurgent candidates. Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton endorsed candidates running against the incumbents.
George also said the party is in a “pretty good” financial position. He says former Republican Party of Texas Chair Matt Rinaldi left the party with about $2.9 to $3 million – a good start for George. “We don't want a speaker who will go to the Democrat side," George said."We now have 46 members who agreed -- which is more than 50% of the Republican caucus -- who agreed that they will not support a speaker who is going to put Democrats in charge.”
“He's got two other challengers now. Both have committed that they will do that. They will not put any Democrats in committee chairs," George said."And if they're going to do that, and Dade Phelan comes back and said, no, I'm going to do this, the party will not be supporting him.” George also weighed in on President Joe Biden’s executive order to address asylum seekers. The President’s order would shut down the border to asylum seekers if more than 2,500 came across in a single day.
