Tenure
Correa was a member of the Blue Dog Coalition. He left the caucus after a disagreement over the group's rebranding.
On July 29, 2024, Correa was announced as one of six Democratic members of a bipartisan task force investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
On June 12, 2025, Correa was one of the four Democrats who did not vote on the $9 billion spending cuts put forward by the Department of Government Efficiency; house Republicans passed the rescission package by 2 votes.
Correa was participating in the certification of the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count when supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol. He was in the House Chamber when rioters tried to break through the chamber doors. He hid in the gallery with other Congress members, holding a gas mask in case of tear gas. He said the rioters "have been misled by this crazy, tyrant president who keeps saying it was stolen from him when it wasn’t."
A group of approximately 20 Trump supporters harassed Correa at Dulles International Airport as he was leaving Washington to return to Orange County after certifying the electoral votes. People called him names and one man told him, "Your lie has been exposed. This not a democracy. It is a republic." After one woman told him to "go to work in China", Correa responded, "Maybe Russia is better. Comrade! Comrade!" Minutes later, airport police dispersed the crowd. Correa expressed concern that the airport police did not question or detain the harassers. He supported efforts to impeach Trump and called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
