Bob Good has been elected as the next chair of the House Freedom Caucus, in a move that may prove testing for Donald Trump.
The Virginia Representative ran unopposed to lead the conservative group of House Republicans on Monday according to multiple reports, meaning he will replace outgoing chair Scott Perry.
As a Ron DeSantis ally, Good's leadership of the influential group may come as a challenge to the former president, who is the frontrunner in the upcoming GOP primaries with 60 percent of the vote, according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight. DeSantis is his closes rival with 12.7 percent, while former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley closely follows with 11.4 percent of the vote share.

..."Bob Good's selection reflects a continued independent streak with the Freedom Caucus," Gift said. "Although the group as a whole is still mightily pro-Trump, its members don't kowtow to his every move—and some have even radicalized beyond the former president."
"That said, if Trump does return to the White House, Bob Good and the rest of the Freedom Caucus will fall in line soon enough (that is, if Good even survives a likely primary challenger). For now, Trump still has a death grip over the GOP, and there's nothing anyone in Congress can do to change that."...
