Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) circulated a memo on May 24 encouraging Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to “hold the line” on Republicans’ debt ceiling demands.

“I hope ... Speaker McCarthy continues to pressure President [Joe] Biden to do what is right for the American people,” Roy wrote in a memo to his colleagues obtained by The Epoch Times.
