In a recent development, former President Donald Trump has called for a primary challenge against Republican Congressman Chip Roy, citing his support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the 2024 Republican race. Taking to Truth Social, Trump expressed his belief that Congressman Roy is beatable and urged potential candidates from Texas to step forward. However, it seems that the former president might have missed the memo as the filing deadline for the primary race in Texas has already passed.
Congressman Chip Roy, who is currently without a primary opponent, responded to Trump's remarks and emphasized his commitment to his constituents. Roy highlighted his conservative principles and unwavering support for Trump when they align, while also voicing his endorsement for Ron DeSantis. The congressman stressed the need to focus on important issues such as securing the border, reining in government spending, and strengthening the military to help Americans achieve the American dream.
