A New Conservative Caucus

“A familiar problem for House Speaker John Boehner has a new name: the House Freedom Caucus,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Little more than a month ago, nine House Republicans formed the latest group dedicated to pulling policy to the right. One funding fight with GOP leaders later, the Freedom Caucus is expanding, according to lawmakers.”

“As the group has grown, so, too, has frustration among fellow Republicans that the conservative faction’s strategy is undercutting GOP efforts to demonstrate it can govern competently, now that the party controls both chambers of Congress.”
