Gonna have to step in here and shed some legal light
Rule 24 allowed Trump to file a motion to intervene in the Texas case, which tied Trump to the decision of the court; think of it as a plaintiff-lite. However, doing this doesn’t suddenly imbue Texas with the legal standing of the intervenor, Trump in this case, as he was still only a 3rd party in the suit.
Now that Trump is the lead plaintiff, the SCOTUS will recognize the standing and, due to the proximity of the electoral vote, they will absolutely expedite the hearing.
Wouldn’t be surprised if part of their plan is to have Pence APPROVE the electors in congress to further solidify the real-world damage sustained by Trump.
They normally expedite hearings due to time. Look at the guy they just executed in Indiana. Convicted felon, double murder 1 with aggravating factors, SCOTUS review.

"Hopefully" they'll hear it let alone expedite it.

I’m sure Trump will get slated.
