But in the House, enthusiasm for the mission is still strong. Fox News Digital was told more than 100 members are part of the DOGE Caucus – which is more than one in five House lawmakers.
The group's members are currently working on legislative items aimed at reducing government spending and forwarding specific items on Trump's agenda, Fox News Digital was told.
The caucus, led by Reps. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., Pete Sessions, R-Texas, and House GOP Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore, R-Utah, has had two meetings so far.

More than 40,000 people have reached out to the DOGE Caucus' email tip line, and Fox News Digital was told that some ideas "for how to cut waste, fraud, and abuse" were shared with Musk's DOGE team.
A source in the room during the group's previous meeting told Fox News Digital that Bean also challenged lawmakers to introduce at least one bill each aimed at cutting government waste.
