New House Freedom Caucus leader previews GOP rebel group’s upcoming battle

EXCLUSIVE: New House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., is set to tackle two major issues in the coming months – government funding and next year’s House GOP Conference rules. Harris, a long-time member of the ultra-conservative group, expressed his dedication to pushing the conservative agenda forward.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Harris emphasized the importance of controlling spending and shaping the rules for the next Congress. He pledged to prioritize these issues and work diligently to address them.

Harris, recently elected to lead the Freedom Caucus following Rep. Bob Good’s departure, has been known for his commitment to conservative values. As the group continues to challenge House GOP leaders, Harris remains focused on advancing conservative policies in Congress.

In his efforts to avoid a government shutdown, Harris praised Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership on government funding. He supported a plan for a six-month extension of federal funds along with a measure requiring proof of citizenship in voter registration.

Looking ahead to end-of-year leadership elections, Harris hinted at potential changes to the House GOP Conference rules. While details remain undisclosed, Harris emphasized the importance of unity within the Freedom Caucus to drive meaningful change.

As Harris assumes his new role, his dedication to conservative principles is expected to shape the legislative agenda in the House of Representatives.
