Texas Republican who led Paxton impeachment effort defeats Trump-backed rival

  • Dade Phelan, Texas House Speaker, defeated a well-funded challenger endorsed by Donald Trump and his allies, thwarting a far-right Republican faction's goal of controlling the Legislature.
  • Phelan's victory over David Covey, with support from Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and others, prevented him from becoming the first House speaker to lose a primary in 52 years.
  • Phelan's win deals a significant blow to the party's ultraconservative faction ideologically led by Patrick and Paxton and funded by megadonors like Tim Dunn.
