Freedumb Caucus starts to turn up the pressure on GOP leaders

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The conservative House Freedom Caucus is turning up the heat on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the rest of his leadership team, setting the stage for what could be a difficult relationship if Republicans take the House majority this fall.

Past GOP Speakers have struggled to move legislation because of conservatives in their conference, and the management of the Freedom Caucus is widely seen as a huge test for McCarthy if he becomes the Speaker of the House.

“[Former GOP Speaker] Paul Ryan [Wis.] used to say it’s like keeping frogs in a wheelbarrow,” said one House Republican who requested anonymity to speak candidly. “It’s going to be a great challenge to keep everybody together.”

The confrontational conservative group has already started to poke at leadership with a battle over House rules that would chip away at leadership’s power, releasing this summer a set of rules change requests for the House Republican Conference and the House as a whole that would give more power to individual members.
