The Tea Party Caucus is a group within the United States Congress that was formed in 2010, primarily consisting of Republican members who align with the principles of the Tea Party movement. This movement advocates for limited government, lower taxes, and a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. The caucus gained prominence during the mid-2010s, influencing policy debates and election outcomes, particularly during the rise of conservative populism. While its influence has waned in recent years, it still represents a faction within the Republican Party focused on fiscal conservatism and reducing federal government size.
