A Republican Congressman who has opposed changes made to Donald Trump's so-called "beautiful" bill is promising a "storm."

Journalist Jake Sherman, the founder of Punchbowl News, highlighted the comment by U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) early on Wednesday.

Roy, fresh off of making comments against the new bill, took to X late in the evening.

"Late night… post storm (or is it before the storm?)…" Roy wrote along with a photo of the U.S. Capitol.

Sherman flagged the development, writing, "ROY with an ominous late-night tweet."

"The Texas Republican voted no in Rules last night. He has flipped a lot this congress," the journalist added. "But many in his world feel that the string is running out and promises have not been kept.... an interesting few days -- or more! -- ahead."

Roy has frequently been at odds with other Republicans, including the president's team.
