A congressional caucus is a committee or group of legislators in the United States Congress who share common interests or goals. There are other words that can be used as synonyms for "congressional caucus," including "legislative caucus," "political caucus," "policy group," "political coalition," and "interest group." These words describe the same purpose and function of a congressional caucus. The main objective of these groups is to advance specific policy issues and agendas, and to coordinate legislative efforts among members of Congress who share similar views. Despite the different terms used to describe them, the underlying objective of congressional caucuses remains the same.
