| Description | Leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are plotting a major overhaul of the group, aiming to leverage the power of the House’s most left-leaning faction in a way it never has before.
But the proposed changes have set off panic with several members who expressed concerns that the CPC is quickly morphing into a “Freedom Caucus of the left.” Others are worried the moves are designed to consolidate power behind current co-chair Pramila Jayapal — who is expected to be the sole leader next year — with multiple lawmakers going so far as to privately describe the changes as a “power grab” by the Washington Democrat. |
