Allen West, the former Florida congressman who now lives in Texas, announced Wednesday evening that he is exploring a run for Texas GOP chair, setting up a potential challenge to the party's current leader, James Dickey.

"As I look ahead as to how I can continue my service to this constitutional republic and the great state of Texas, my family and I ... have decided to explore the opportunity to be the next chairman of the Republican Party of Texas," West said in a live YouTube broadcast.

Delegates will elect the next chair of the Republican Party of Texas at its 2020 convention, which is scheduled for May 14-16 in Houston. Dickey first won the job in 2017 after the previous chair resigned, and he was reelected a year later — both were contentious races.

I have a feeling Abbott will have the GOP chair he chooses.
