Donald Trump Jr.’s intervention underscores the growing national attention on the Texas House Speaker race.

Donald Trump Jr. has weighed in on the ongoing battle over the next speaker of the Texas House, slamming a small group of Republicans for seeking a “bipartisan” deal with Democrats instead of supporting the Republican caucus’ nominee, State Rep. David Cook (R–Mansfield).

On Saturday, House Republicans overwhelmingly voted for Cook as their nominee for speaker. However, State Rep. Dustin Burrows (R–Lubbock) has sought Democrat support in a last-minute bid to claim the gavel in January.

In a post on X, Trump Jr. decried the effort, accusing Burrows and his allies of betraying the party.
