Rep. Andy Harris Elected House Freedom Caucus Chair
News summary

Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) has been elected as the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, succeeding Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), who resigned following his primary loss. The decision came after Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) withdrew his candidacy, leaving Harris to lead the embattled group through the remainder of the Congress. The House Freedom Caucus, known for its hardline conservative stance and influential role in GOP leadership challenges, has faced internal conflicts and fundraising difficulties. Harris, who is also a member of the House Appropriations Committee, may face scrutiny over how he balances caucus demands with party leadership. His leadership will be pivotal as the caucus seeks to redefine its direction ahead of significant elections. The group is at a crossroads, grappling with its future and cohesion amidst past internal strife.
