Freedom Caucus leader losses primary recount. Will Boebert be the new chair?

The Freedom Caucus is looking for a new leader in Congress after U.S. Rep. Bob Good lost his Virginia recount by 370 votes to a Trump-backed candidate.

The firebrand caucus now needs a new chairman — one who presumably won’t piss off every faction within the Republican Party, which Good managed to accomplish, accounting for his loss.

Conservatives touted for possible replacement are Colorado’s U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, Chip Roy of Texas, Andy Harris of Maryland and Andy Ogles of Tennessee.

Good’s loss just confirmed how tired Republicans have grown of politicians within the ranks who champion interparty squabbles that weakens the GOP while emboldening and empowering Democrats.

Even Boebert has demonstrated her frustration with similar tactics being used by Colorado’s GOP chair Dave Williams, whose offenses against his own party have grown too many to recap on one page.

Boebert hasn’t commented publicly on Good’s loss or the direction of the Freedom Caucus, which so far has only led to chaos within U.S. House leadership.

Granted, she’s focused on her own congressional campaign. But the Freedom Caucus election is likely to happen before November.

Stay tuned.
