Texas House approves presidential primary bill backed by Bentsen
The Texas House passed a presidential primary bill 83 to 52 with an added 92 to 41 amendment on auto release of delegates. It would allow delegates to shift on a third ballot if a candidate fails to reach 20 percent on the second, preventing one person from controlling delegates in a potential deadlock. The measure, championed by Rep. Tom Schieffer and backed by Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, moves to the Senate for action.
