Texas GOP Faces Turmoil as Leadership Battle Heats Up

The Texas GOP faces internal strife and financial challenges as Matt Rinaldi steps down as chair, leaving behind a divided party with reduced staff and funding. Rinaldi's tenure saw a shift towards ultraconservative policies and reliance on two major donors, leading to a civil war within the party. The upcoming election for a new chair will determine whether the party continues Rinaldi's direction or seeks a new path amid concerns about its future unity and effectiveness.
