The word "caucus" can refer to a couple of different concepts, primarily in the context of political gatherings:
1. **Political Meeting**: A caucus is a meeting of members of a particular political party or faction. During a caucus, participants discuss and decide on party policies, select candidates for upcoming elections, or strategize on legislative issues. It can take place at various levels, including local, state, or national levels.
2. **Group of Legislators**: A caucus can also refer to a group of legislators who come together to advocate for specific interests or causes. For example, a " Congressional caucus" in the U.S. is a group of members of Congress who share a common interest or goal.
The term can also be used more generally to describe any gathering of people with a shared interest who come together to discuss and coordinate their actions.
