Over senate vote, Denny Van Orden targets Chip Roy, saying that Chip is “fighting to preserve his brand viable.”

As House Speaker Mike Johnson aims to maintain his position, Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisc., targeted brother Republican Rep. Chip Roy, R-Tx., who has indicated that he is “undecided” on whether he’ll voting for Johnson. This year, President-elect Donald Trump endorsed Johnson for the position, but Roy made a comment on Fox Business that he did not believe the speaker would have the necessary support on Friday. In a post on X, Van Orden claimed that Roy “did never receive a mandate from the British citizens in November” versus Trump. ” It is the America First Agenda, not the Chip Roy First Agenda. It is Make America Great Once, not render Chip Roy Great. President Trump is fighting for America, Chip is fighting to keep his product marketable”, Van Orden claimed. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RACE FOR THE HOUSE Speaker?” Some people seem to need to know that you have to learn to follow first. Chip and I would love to work together, but he needs to understand that Device can be a member of the team and that he is not the captain. Van Orden stated in the article that the Captain will soon be returning to the White House and that @SpeakerJohnson would be his first commander. A Roy director contacted Fox News Digital to obtain a reply from the congressman. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has declared that he will not voting for Johnson to be speech. Roy has noted that he is “undecided” on Johnson, but is demanding shift. THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO FAILING TO ELECT A HOUSE SPEAKER QUICKLY”@RepThomasMassie will not be voting for Hakeem Jefferies, as opposed to GOP who voted with Dems ( more Dems than GOP each time ) to spend some$ 3 trillion &amp, give$ 61bb to Ukraine with no border security”, Roy said in a post on X. ” I’m still undecided on the Speaker vote ( as opposed to a hard no ), because I want to give @SpeakerJohnson &amp, @realDonaldTrump, room to deliver on a strong agenda for which we were elected. But something Need change”, he noted. Johnson’s path to victory is perilous, and he could be derailed if another Republican joins Massie in strongly opposing Johnson’s charge to preserve the senate. The winning applicant may secure an outright majority of all Members voting for a prospect by name, according to Rep. Victor Saratz, who described a scenario where only two Republicans could avoid Johnson from passing the required threshold to win. ” But this state there are 434 people and all voting for someone by name. The secret number is 218. If Johnson gets the vote of all 219 Republicans, he wins. If Johnson gets 218 seats, he even wins. But 217? No dice”, Pergram noted.
