Texas state Rep. Kyle Biedermann, R-Fredericksburg, Texas GOP Chair Allen West, and Rush Limbaugh have all commented on the possibility of Texas, and other states succeeding from the union after the rejection of the Texas 2020 election court case , with Biedermann going on to say he is "committing to file legislation that will allow a referendum to give Texans a vote for the State of Texas to reassert its status as an independent nation."
