    What's next for the Freedom Caucus?

    28/09/2026 | 17 mins.
    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.
