The upcoming session of the Texas House is expected to lean more towards a MAGA (Make America Great Again) agenda, according to former Democratic State Rep. Lorraine Birabil and former TEA Commissioner Michael Williams. This shift comes amid a strong rebuke from a majority of Texas House Republicans against placing Democrats in leadership positions, a policy currently embraced by House Speaker Dade Phelan. Additionally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had previously warned House Republicans against voting for Phelan as Speaker. Despite this, Representatives Jeff Leach and Matt Shaheen have expressed their lack of concern over the issue.
