U.S. House factional conflicts
In 2018, intra-party disputes have appeared among U.S. House primaries involving Democratic candidates endorsed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and Republican candidates endorsed by the House Freedom Caucus.
The DCCC is supporting House candidates who they believe will be competitive in general elections, sometimes creating conflict with candidates not endorsed by the group.
The House Freedom Caucus and allied groups such as the Club for Growth are supporting candidates who are likely to join their ranks once in the House. Other wings of the Republican Party, including House Republican leadership, often prefer opposing candidates.
