Trump's Call for Primary Challenge Against Chip Roy Comes Too Late

Despite Trump's Call, Conservative Rep. Chip Roy Set to Run Unopposed in Republican Primary

  • Former President Donald Trump has called for a primary challenge against Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy due to Roy's support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential bid.
  • Trump's call comes a week after the deadline to file for candidacy in a primary against Roy, making the challenge impossible for the upcoming election.
  • Rep. Chip Roy is a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and has a strong conservative voting record.
  • Roy was the first member of Congress to endorse DeSantis for president and has been campaigning for him in Iowa.
  • Despite Trump's call for a primary challenge, Roy is set to run unopposed in the Republican primary for Texas' 21st Congressional District.
