By Olivia Beavers - The HillRep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) resigned Sunday from the House Freedom Caucus, indicating he did so because he wanted to vote for the Republican healthcare proposal the right-wing caucus so adamantly opposed. “I have resigned from the House Freedom Caucus,” Poe said in a statement. Poe reportedly broke with the House Freedom Caucus’s views of the GOP healthcare proposal and planned to vote for the bill, which House leaders ultimately pulled from the floor on Friday. Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective Member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. The Freedom Caucus does not keep an official list of members, and Poe was a recent addition to the group.
