U.S. Rep. Chip Roy among Republicans refusing to support Scalise's speaker bid
Leave it to Austin-San Antonio U.S. Rep. Chip Roy to continue sowing chaos in Washington. Roy is one of two Texas Republicans in the U.S. House to say they'll vote against U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, after he won the party's nomination to become the next House speaker, the Texas Tribune reports. Combined with the votes of other far-right holdouts, Roy and Michael Cloud, R-Victoria, could prevent Scalise from taking on that role, according to Tribune.
