In a deeply partisan Congress, one group of lawmakers with a shared background is working in a bipartisan way to try to pass important legislation. The group consists of military veterans in the U.S. House who call themselves the “For Country Caucus." Veterans in the caucus see it as one of the few places where members of both parties feel they can build relationships and work together. It’s one small sign of attempts to bridge the nation's political polarization. The caucus began in 2019. Since then, it has been integral in getting more than 100 bills passed into law — on national security, support for veterans and more.
