Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) shot down rumors of a deal among House Republicans that would see Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) elected Speaker of the House after days of failed bids.
Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman tweeted that McCarthy announced a deal was in place with the Republicans, including Roy, who have staunchly stood against him throughout the week.
Roy quickly responded to Sherman’s tweet, however, and said McCarthy did not reveal a deal, but did mention “progress” being made in negotiations.
“He did not say this. And any agreement will take us ALL.
