The largest conservative caucus in the House embraced Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s argument in favor of populistlike economic policies on Wednesday, marking one of the clearest signs yet of the Republican Party shifting ideologically away from free-market evangelism.

No member publicly challenged or disagreed with Rubio’s argument.
