Rep. Anna Paulina Luna resigned from the House Freedom Caucus after the group blocked her proposal allowing new mothers and fathers in Congress to vote by proxy. In a letter to the caucus, Luna expressed her disillusionment with the group's tactics, which she claimed misrepresented her family-centered initiative while jeopardizing progress on President Trump's agenda. The conflict reportedly involved threats to halt floor proceedings unless changes were made to obstruct her proposal, leading to her decision to leave the caucus that she had supported through years of challenges.
"My goal has always been to work alongside like-minded individuals committed to fighting for the American people and delivering on the promises President Trump campaigned on."
"Yet, a small group among us threatened the Speaker, vowing to halt floor proceedings indefinitely-regardless of the legislation at stake, including President Trump's agenda-unless he altered the rules to block my discharge petition."
