Abbott sees path for school voucher victory after Texas House runoffs

Multiple Texas House Republican incumbents lost the Texas primary, including multiple who opposed Gov. Greg Abbott‘s (R-TX) most coveted policy: school choice.

Six of the eight Republicans in the Texas House lost their runoff elections on Tuesday, adding to the nine who were ousted by challengers in the state’s March primary. If they win their elections come November, Abbott estimates the Texas House will have enough votes to greenlight his measure.
