Explaining the Beef Between Donald Trump and Chip Roy

Despite their conservative instincts, the rift between President-elect Donald Trump and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has grown in recent years
The article from The Daily Signal discusses the ongoing feud between former President Donald Trump and Representative Chip Roy. The tension stems from Roy's criticism of Trump's influence over the Republican Party and his endorsement decisions. Roy has expressed frustration with Trump's endorsements of candidates he views as insufficiently conservative, particularly highlighting Trump's support for candidates in Texas primaries. In response, Trump has publicly attacked Roy, calling him disloyal and ineffective. The conflict underscores broader divisions within the GOP about its direction, leadership, and the role Trump should play in future elections.
