Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas,, announced his resignation from the conservative House Freedom Caucus after Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, was voted out of the group.

"I just didn’t think kicking him out was a very good idea," Nehls said, according to a report. "I said, ‘If you get rid of him then I’ll be resigning.’"

Davidson was reportedly booted for endorsing John McGuire over Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., the House Freedom Caucus chairman, in the Virginia 5th district GOP primary race.

Trump also endorsed McGuire. He defeated Good by 374 votes. It is unclear if there will be a recount in the race.
