In order to become House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy needs their votes - and so, by threatening to withhold their votes, they have managed to drag Kevin McCarthy to the right in previously unimaginable ways
- He has been forced to make at least 6 pledges so far - ranging from removing Democrats from committee assignments to rolling back IRS funding - that he had never previously supported
- Getting McCarthy to make promises is one thing - getting him to keep those promises is another thing entirely
- The omnibus bill would ham-string the GOP House for more than a year - a political disaster that has now created a much bigger fight between GOP House members and GOP Senate members
