The Freedom Caucus is split on Rep. Andy Biggs's run for House speaker as President Donald Trump's allies actively whip for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

REP. ANDY BIGGS LIKELY TO CHALLENGE REPUBLICAN LEADER KEVIN MCCARTHY FOR NOMINATION TO BE HOUSE SPEAKER Other Freedom Caucus members said McCarthy had worked to diversify the GOP leadership and bring in outside views. Complicating matters is that some Freedom Caucus members see Biggs' challenge as just leverage against McCarthy in ongoing negotiations over House rules.
