House Freedom Caucus Faces 6-Member Shakeup as Key Conservatives Leave for Governor and Senate Runs

Summary
Six prominent House Freedom Caucus members are set to leave at year-end, setting up a significant reshaping of the hardline conservative bloc next year.
Four of them — Byron Donalds, Ralph Norman, Tom Tiffany and Andy Biggs — are running for governor, while Barry Moore is seeking an Alabama Senate seat and Chip Roy is departing after an unsuccessful Texas attorney general bid.
The exits will remove some of the caucus' most visible voices against GOP leadership, though supporters say its confrontational, anti-establishment mission will continue.
Jim Jordan and current chair Andy Harris are staying, and younger Republicans including Brandon Gill and Keith Self are emerging as possible successors.
Texas could gain even more sway if Steve Toth and Brandon Herrera win their races and join, signaling continuity rather than retreat for the caucus.
