The right-wing House Freedom Caucus on Monday voted to kick out one of its members — and then immediately saw another resign in response.

Why it matters: Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) is at least the third lawmaker ejected from the Freedom Caucus in the last year for breaking with the group's leadership.

What we're hearing: The Freedom Caucus voted to kick out Davidson after he endorsed a primary challenger to Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), the caucus' chair, according to a lawmaker familiar with the matter.

A dramatic divide is erupting in the far-right House Freedom Caucus after the group voted to oust a third member in the span of a year.

The ejection of Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, was led by allies of Chairman Bob Good, R-Va., Politico reported. Good recently lost a primary election for his district in Virginia – the only congressional Republican to do so – and Davidson openly backed Good’s challenger, the Trump-ensorsed John McGuire.

Good’s allies believed Davidson’s endorsement of McGuire violated rules against publicly attacking a fellow member and merited his removal from the group, Axios reported. Caucus members voted to oust Davidson 16-13, but the vote occurred when some of Davidson’s allies weren’t present.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Politico he disagreed with the decision and acknowledged that it could lead to resignations among the group’s members.

“I voted against it and spoke against it. … I’ve always been opposed to that,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Politico.
