Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is leaving the party's Freedom Caucus in the Lower House over a disagreement, marking the latest departure from the combative group.
Concretely, Luna is leaving over the caucus' opposition to allow House members who are new parents to vote by proxy. "With a heavy heart, I am resigning from the Freedom Caucus," Luna wrote in a letter, which was reported by Axios. She went on to say that the group's opposition to her initiative "shattered" the "mutual respect that has guided our caucus."
