Phelan is where he is because a majority of the Texas House voted him in. The Texas House is not nearly as balls-to-the-wall MAGA conservative as the Senate, and all of these critics said the same thing last legislative session too, yet Phelan persists. There are too many rural Republican legislators in Texas who have an interest in the success of public education for school vouchers to pass. My bet is this special session ends with nothing accomplished
