Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) was elected Tuesday night as the new chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, three members told The Hill, officially replacing Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) after he lost his primary earlier this year.

The group elected Harris to be its chair shortly after Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a former leader of the coalition, took his name out of contention, the members said. Harris and Biggs were the final contenders for the position. The vote took place during the group’s weekly meeting.

Good resigned as chair of the Freedom Caucus last week, after he lost his reelection bid to primary challenger John McGuire, who was backed by former President Trump. Good’s term as chair was supposed to run through December 2025, a tenure he could not complete because of his defeat at the ballot box.

Harris’s stretch as chair, however, will only run through 2024, one of the members said, giving the Freedom Caucus another opportunity to choose a leader in the coming months.

1. Oh good god!

This is my fricking, idiot Congressman. He was Ben Carson’s anesthesiologist when they were both at Hopkins. He used to stalk our polling site on Election Day. He is a Trump and Orban butt kisser. He was also part of the coup plot and attended the December 21, 2020 coup plotting meeting. He belongs in prison.

3. He is my rep as well.

He is horrible. I decided to become a Star member on DU after enduring ad after ad from Harris telling me how he was protecting Medicare! Lie after lie. I do have to smile when I see the Harris/Trump signs. Some of the more dimly lit bulbs in the area may well see them and think, " Wait, I thought they were running against each other!"
