Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) was ousted by members of the Home Freedom Caucus on Monday. The choice comes after Congressman Chair Rep. Bob Goodes (R-Va.) final month endorsed Trump-backed main challenger John McGuire.
In accordance with Politico, Davidson was discovered to be “not in good standing” with the caucus. These are often members who don’t pay their dues or who are sometimes absent from conferences.
The vote to oust the congressman was reportedly 16-13, which means about 35 members of the Home Freedom Caucus didn’t attend the assembly or abstained from voting.
The Virginia congressman and different members of the Home Freedom Caucus seen Davidson’s endorsement of McGuire as a betrayal. Davidson made his selection due to Goode’s earlier endorsement of Gov. Ron DeSantis for president.
Davidson’s removing follows a development of expelling Trump-aligned congressmen from the caucus. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was kicked out final summer time, and, in accordance with Axios, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been “more and more alienated” by the Home Freedom Caucus.

After Davidson’s exit from the caucus, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) selected to resign in protest.
