"Texas Republican Civil War: Ken Paxton's Acquittal Deepens Divide"

Attorney General Ken Paxton's acquittal in his impeachment trial has intensified the ongoing civil war within the Texas Republican Party. Paxton's far-right supporters are now targeting House Speaker Dade Phelan, blaming him for the impeachment process and demanding his resignation. The party's establishment members and the well-funded right-wing have clashed over claims that the party is not conservative enough, despite generally agreeing on policy issues. Paxton's supporters have accused Phelan of being drunk during House proceedings and have promised primary challenges to House Republicans who voted against Paxton. The rift between the factions is expected to continue, with potential consequences for the party's unity and future.
