"Trump's Call for Primary Challenger Backfires as Conservatives Lash Out"

Former President Donald Trump called for a primary challenger against Texas Rep. Chip Roy, whom he labeled a "RINO" for supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. However, Trump's demand came after the filing deadline, and no serious contenders are running against Roy. Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, was the first to endorse DeSantis for president and has a conservative voting record. DeSantis defended Roy, highlighting their shared commitment to securing the southern border. Trump and Roy have clashed in the past, with Roy voting to certify Trump's election loss and criticizing his attempt to remain in office.
