The House Freedom Caucus is currently in discussions regarding the potential replacement for its chairman, Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., who is expected to step aside following his loss in the primary race and subsequent recount. This situation has put the ultra-conservative group in uncharted territory, as a chairman has never stepped down before the end of a term, and a sitting chair has never lost re-election.
Two potential candidates to take over the role for the remainder of Good's term are Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Scott Perry, R-Pa. Sources familiar with the discussions suggest that the momentum is leaning slightly towards Biggs, with one member citing his support for Trump and experience as reasons for backing him.
