Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy is reportedly considering a run against Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik for House leadership after Rep. Liz Cheney was ousted from leadership Wednesday, the Daily Caller has learned.
Two sources close to Roy told the Daily Caller that he is considering a run against Stefanik after Cheney was removed from her leadership position by a voice vote Wednesday. Behind closed doors, Republicans voted Cheney out as the third-ranking House Republican.
“While not ruling anything out, Congressman Roy has never sought a position in conference leadership. His focus is on serving Texas’ 21st Congressional district … But if the position must be filled, then this must be a contested race — not a coronation,” Roy’s office told the Daily Caller when asked about a possible run.

Is he worthy?
“Is he worthy?”
Probably...either of them is fine by me, just glad to have that bitch out of there.
Chip Roy would be an upgrade over both.
wrong gender
McCarthy and Scalise are both male, so “that demographic is already filled”
that’s how politics works today, like it or not
no thanks, chip.
Freepers have mentioned Stafanik’s liberal leaning voting record.
Go Chip
Interesting. Thanks to every poster.
There are four GOP leadership positions in the House: Minority Leader, Republican Whip, Republican Conference Chair, and Republican Policy Committee Chair.
There's no way in hell the GOP will ever have all four of these filled with white men.
Probably doesn’t stand a chance, he is not on board with the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) and that is a prerequisite for admittance to leadership in the GOP.
was stefanik put up as replacement to get the rinos onboard with cheney ouster? same/same then the ol’ switcheroo get a conservative in there.
Quotas must be followed, even if the person isn't particularly qualified.

Voted twice against Trump impeachment and voted against pretty much everything anti-Trump.
It’s a game and we’re not in it!
Thanks for that link. From the article:
“Rep. Chip Roy says Trump’s conduct was impeachable, but opposes the article
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said on the House floor that Trump’s conduct in pressuring the vice president to overturn the election impeachable, but that he opposes the article of impeachment.
“The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct, pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution,” Roy said.”
Sounds like a classic Deception to me. Maybe the deep state is pushing this guy secretly.
Chip is good people. He’d be great. I am very comfortable with Stefanik.
She is not my ideological clone but she is consistently on my team on the big debates. She’s promoting the advancement and growth of my party. Team player vs the wacko troll from Wyoming.
From what she recently said, the job would only be a short-term position.
I doubt she would put up much of a fight for a job she really isn’t excited to take.
Sorry, but nope. Roy isn't MAGA and seems to agree with Cheney and her big lie about Trump.
Chip Roy: "The president of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct, pressuring the vice president to violate his oath to the Constitution," Roy said.
