House Freedom Caucus Faces Internal Strife

The House Freedom Caucus faces internal strife following the ouster of Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), who was removed after endorsing a primary challenger to the caucus chairman, Rep. Bob Good (R-VA). Davidson's removal has prompted Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) to resign in protest, marking the loss of two members in one night. The group has seen multiple expulsions over the past year, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Randy Weber (R-TX), and Ken Buck (R-CO), due to internal disagreements and non-attendance. These actions have led to concerns that the caucus is straying from its original mission of being a cohesive and agile conservative group. Some members, like Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), have voiced worries about the group's direction and its ability to grow membership. The Freedom Caucus' recent internal tensions reflect broader schisms within the Republican Party's right flank.
