Texas Republican Dade Phelan Says GOP’s Anti-Trans Ads Aren’t Resonating
Texas Republican Calls Out GOP’s Costly Obsession With Anti-Trans Campaigns: "It’s Just Not Resonating"
AI summary
Former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan told Texas Monthly that Republicans’ focus on anti-transgender ads is “just not resonating” in the state’s Senate race, citing $100 million to $125 million in spending that “hasn’t moved the needle.” Phelan, who led the 2023 impeachment of Senate candidate Ken Paxton, warned the party could face trouble in November. Republicans spent $215 million on anti-trans ads in the 2024 cycle, and Elon Musk’s America PAC has carried the strategy into this year’s midterms.
