Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who’s on the campaign trail in Iowa promoting 2024 presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, spoke with NTD News about the state of the 2024 Republican presidential primary race with a week to go before the first-in-the-nation caucus and the start of the voting season.

Mr. Roy, who represents a southern border state, emphasized border security as a key issue that he says separates the Florida governor from former president and 2024 Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
