Former President Trump suggested late Monday that a Republican should try to primary Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in the 2024 primary, even though the filing deadline already passed.

“Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “If interested, let me know!!!”

Observers quickly noted, however, that the filing deadline for a candidate to get on the ballot and challenge Roy was Dec. 11.

In response, Roy shared on social media supportive messages from other Republicans who pointed to his conservative voting record.
