House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s health and recent cancer diagnosis have been cited by Republican lawmakers as a reason not to support him as he eyes the speakership, Rep. Chip Roy said on Thursday.

The conversations come one month after Scalise announced his diagnosis of the blood cancer known as multiple myeloma. The Louisiana Republican has since begun chemotherapy treatments while still serving as majority leader but is now often seen wearing a mask and taking other precautions because of his health.

“I think we need a fundamental shift, a trajectory shift, and that's why I'm still backing Jim,” Roy said. “I don't think Steve has the votes and I want us to try to make a good-faith effort to get Jim the votes and much much more.”
