Get to Know the Freedom Caucus Firebrand You're Missing Out On.

Rep. Andy Biggs, the leader of the Freedom Caucus, has risen to prominence in the Republican Party by staunchly defending former President Donald Trump's stolen election lies. However, his past as Arizona's state senate president reveals a paradoxical approach to governing, where he battled moderate Republicans and Democrats over his opposition to a Medicaid expansion bill that his state's own GOP governor backed. Despite being one of the most vocal figures on the right flank, Biggs has shown a certain degree of empathy for Speaker Kevin McCarthy's predicament, constantly pulled between the rebellious right and cautious moderates.
