The Republican Governance Group, originally the Tuesday Lunch Bunch and then the Tuesday Group until 2020, is a group of moderate Republicans in the United States House of Representatives.[7] It was founded in 1994 in the wake of the Republican takeover of the House; the Republican House caucus came to be dominated by conservatives.[8] It has historically been considered a centre[3][4][9] to centre-right congressional caucus, with its members primarily from competitive House districts.[8][10] However, it has shifted further to the right in recent years under Trumpism. In January 2025, member Carlos A. Giménez stated "Our goals are the same as President Trump’s goals."[11]

Another major group of Republican moderates in Congress is the Republican Main Street Caucus, which existed briefly from 2017 to 2019 and was re-formed in 2021.[14]
