AI summary

Former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan told Texas Monthly that Republicans’ focus on anti-transgender ads is failing to move voters in the state’s Senate race. Phelan cited $100 million and $125 million in ad spending with no shift in a month, after Republicans spent $215 million on anti-trans ads in the 2024 cycle. He warned the party could be in serious trouble in November as Texas becomes a battleground state.
