Capitol’s new crop: Freedom Caucus attracts new blood as group looks to expand influence

Published December 4, 2024 6:00am ET



The 2024 election cycle has ended, with Republicans holding control of all three branches of government.

Part 10 of Capitol’s new crop will introduce Rep.-elect Mark Harris (R-NC) and other possible Freedom Caucus recruits.

The House Freedom Caucus could attract a cohort of new lawmakers in the coming Congress, especially as the conservative group looks to increase its influence with the return of President-elect Donald Trump to the White House and a GOP trifecta in Congress.
