Outgoing Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy, who will leave Congress when his current term ends after losing his bid for state attorney general in May, says the GOP has "delivered significantly" on key priorities but still needs to "finish the job" before the November midterms. He cited tax provisions in the "Big Beautiful Bill", tighter border enforcement, and the Laken Riley Act as achievements, while urging Republicans to unite around a clear vision to secure electoral rewards this year and beyond.

Roy acknowledged Congress has "fallen short" in some areas and said Republicans currently risk narrowly losing the House while barely holding the Senate, though he believes the House can still be won. He also criticised a reported Trump administration proposal, cited by the New York Times, to let a stay-at-home married parent claim federal childcare subsidies, calling government dependency incompatible with freedom; the White House said no such proposal has been announced. Roy declined to rule out a future run for office, saying that decision rests with "God" and Texas voters.
