Washington (CNN)The conservative House Freedom Caucus has elected GOP Rep. Scott Perry to be its next leader, elevating an original member and noted ally of former President Donald Trump to the group's top post.

"For the past six years, I have stood shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the Freedom Caucus as we have tirelessly fought to hold the line to promote liberty, safety and prosperity for Americans,'' Perry said in a statement Monday evening. "I am grateful to continue to carry the torch for these champions of freedom."

The hardliner group's current chairman, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, was term-limited and will serve in the position until January 1, the caucus said.

Perry, who represents Pennsylvania, has come under scrutiny for his role in seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and his interactions related to those efforts could be of keen interest to the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection. ..............................

5. Lot more like it. They're already as low as they can be in the current

environment, so no doubt their ambitions with this creep are -- as always -- to take power and carve out future lows for the party.
