Trial lawyers, once a force for Democrats, reclaim political clout in Texas GOP’s MAGA wing

In Texas, a surprising shift has seen trial lawyers, traditionally a Democratic stronghold, backing populist GOP insurgents, causing consternation among tort reform advocates. These lawyers are financing MAGA-aligned Republicans, a move that's reshaping the state's political landscape. This realignment highlights a broader trend where traditional party alliances are breaking down, potentially influencing legislative priorities around tort reform and civil justice. It's a significant development that could impact the future of legal and political battles in the state.
