Episode 3624: Rep. Lambert suggests there will be another Speaker candidate before January; a BurrowCrat Coalition update – Pratt on Texas 12/12/2024

Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The BurrowCrat Coalition of Democrats and mostly non-conservative Republicans led by Rep. Dustin Burrows continues to make enemies. Now Governor Abbott stresses that the Speaker needs to come from within the GOP caucus by majority vote and the Lt. Governor agrees. Burrows and crew walked out before the vote total for the nomination changed to three-fifths on the third vote. Walked out and went and did a deal with the radical Left Democrats.
Clearly power-hungry insiders like Burrows and his BurrowCrats don’t care but momentum for what’s right grows: Over 100 Republican County chairmen are now backing David Cook for House Speaker.
Rep. Stan Lambert, a BurrowCrat at the moment, said yesterday in a packed forum in Abilene that there will likely be another House Speaker candidate emerge before the vote in January. It wasn’t covered by the media but it is in the transcript of the forum:
“So what’s the outcome gonna be? I don’t know. There’s very likely to be another candidate emerge before January the 14th that maybe the majority of the Republicans would support cuz they’ve got to get to number 53. The 53 is the number that they’ve got to get to and neither Cook nor Burroughs was able to achieve that on Saturday.”
And yet Burrows is now using the Speaker-elect title. It doesn’t sound like his own team agrees!
