What's next for the Freedom Caucus?

Mon, 28 Sep 2026
As one founder of the movement described it to NPR, the Freedom Caucus was "MAGA before MAGA." The Republican lawmakers pushed their party to be more conservative, and found a willing ally in Donald Trump. But, as members leave Congress — some by choice, and some not — what does the future hold for this group of politicians, and for the party they've shaped?

This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, congressional reporter Eric McDaniel, and White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben.
