Not the full story - demands include names member Committee Chairmanships. For example. Leadership works both ways. What concessions are the leaders of the minority Freedom Coalition, a self-appointed non-recognized coalition, willing to make? McCarthy is playing this quite well. Regards. Hal

Congressman Flood does not agree with your characterization and I am not certain what sources you are looking at. Keep in mind, Jim Jordan of the Freedom Caucus is supporting McCarthy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Caucus

Committee chairmanships are important for conservative members of the House to occupy because bills do NOT make it to the floor in Congress unless they first are proposed in committee and make it out of committee. The conservatives can't stop the slide into insolvency our government is currently on without this.
