Phelan Forced to a Primary Runoff

[RoyGBiv]

House Speaker Dade Phelan took a risk on Paxton’s impeachment. It may end his career.

Phelan is the first House speaker in 52 years to be forced into a primary runoff, where he will face Paxton-backed challenger David Covey. On Tuesday, Phelan came in second to Covey, trailing his challenger by about 3 percentage points, or 1,000 votes.

I am sure not bashing the NRA, but I do have a genuine question. How does the NRA go about selecting who they will endorse?

I don't recall what they said about why, but it seems like if someone hasn't tried to take away or harm any 2A stuff then they get a good enough grade to be backed. I would have thought Phelan had enough other questionable actions (appointing so many dems as committee chairs) that could have lead to other problems for him to not be worth backing. However, what do I know?
