Dade Phelan Drops Out of Texas House Speaker Race, Dustin Burrows Seeks Democrat Support
Dec 6, 2024, 02:08 PM
Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan has withdrawn from the race for a third term as Speaker of the Texas House. This decision comes after months of internal party conflict and speculation about his political future. Phelan's withdrawal was confirmed by multiple sources, including his own statement and reports from various news outlets. The move has sparked discussions about potential replacements, with Representative Dustin Burrows emerging as a candidate actively seeking support from both Republican and Democrat lawmakers.
