In Texas, there is a growing divide among Republican primary voters regarding the issue of school choice. A new poll by Coefficient Poll and TEA Teachers indicates that about 55% of likely Republican primary voters oppose Governor Bill Lee's universal school choice proposal. This contrasts with a previous BeaconTN poll which found that 85% of Republicans supported the move. The issue has led to primary challenges facing 16 incumbent Republicans who opposed school vouchers last year. Governor Greg Abbott is targeting anti-school choice House Republicans, and the issue has sparked debates and statements from various political figures, including candidates like Katrina Pierson.
