 Emerging from his office in the Capitol on Wednesday night, McCarthy said that he was sure Republicans would capture the majority and that he had the votes to become speaker.

“Yes,” he said to both questions with a smile.

On Thursday, McCarthy tried to portray an aura of inevitability, rolling out what he called “transition teams” for the House GOP majority. Among the leaders of the teams were Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., who is running unopposed for majority leader, and Reps. Jordan and James Comer, R-Ky., who would be chairmen of the Judiciary and Oversight committees in a Republican majority.

But Freedom Caucus leaders are pumping on the brakes. They’ve presented a growing list of demands to McCarthy in exchange for their support. The first could be the most damaging to McCarthy: Conservatives want him to reinstate a rule to make it easier to force a vote to oust a sitting speaker — something known as a “motion to vacate.”

That’s what happened in 2015, when a Freedom Caucus co-founder, then-Rep. Mark Meadows, called for a vote to remove Republican Speaker John Boehner from power; Boehner chose to resign rather than force his members to take an unpopular vote on his speakership.

If McCarthy agrees to that demand, it would mean the threat of recall will be hanging above his head if he makes unpopular decisions on things like government spending, debt and impeachment.

The Freedom Caucus is also demanding that McCarthy require legislation to be made available for 72 hours before it’s voted on and that he allow votes on amendments for all bills on the floor. Requiring a delay would prevent leadership from striking a deal with Democrats and moving quickly to pass legislation. The demands were  in writing by the conservative outside group FreedomWorks, which is closely aligned with the Freedom Caucus.

Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa., said Thursday that he last spoke to McCarthy about the rules changes in September and had not heard from him since then. He said he was “frustrated” that the GOP didn’t make bigger gains on election night, though he was hesitant to blame a single person or McCarthy directly.

“As a leader in the party, you have a duty to provide a vision that informs voters of what you’re going to do if you win,” Perry said, “and I don’t think that vision was adequately provided by multiple folks.”

McCarthy has been in this predicament before. When he ran to succeed Boehner as speaker in 2015, Freedom Caucus members tried to get him to jump through similar hoops to win their votes. When he balked at their demands, Freedom Caucus members drafted GOP Rep. Dan Webster, the former speaker of the Florida House, to challenge McCarthy, giving conservatives an alternative to rally behind.
