As the U.S. House heads into its second day of votes to elect a new speaker Wednesday, a small but motivated group of Republicans — including former Collin County Judge Keith Self and two other Texans — have shown they’re determined to oppose party leader Kevin McCarthy in a fight for what they say are critical rules and leadership changes.
Texans are in a position to help determine the outcome of the fight this week, as they represent more than one-tenth of the House GOP conference. For the time being, the delegation is providing important support for McCarthy given that all but three voted for him Tuesday.
