caucus

Guilbeault said he would continue to serve as a Liberal lawmaker in the government caucus.

The Republican caucus was unified with three exceptions.

Debate around it had been partially eclipsed by partisan drama between Carney's Liberals and the Conservative opposition, who lost a member of their caucus to the Liberals shortly after the fiscal plan was proposed.

Democratic strategist Anthony Coley, a Senate campaign veteran, said he was “a huge fan” of the young representative, and said Schumer “lost control of his caucus.”

Republican congresswomen are a rare breed, making up only 14% of their caucus.
