Analysis: The Freedom Caucus is a small portion of the House GOP. But thanks to newly announced committee assignments and spots on key panels, it will be the face of the party.
We have split control of Washington and a narrow GOP majority in the House; it will be difficult for McCarthy to work with Democrats even if he wanted to. So it’s no secret that the most significant actions the House will take will probably be blocking what Democrats want on matters such as the debt ceiling and conducting investigations.
On the House Oversight Committee — the one that led the charge in probing the Obama administration last decade — 38 percent of GOP members are in the Freedom Caucus. Their hearings are likely to be publicly broadcast over the next two years, and the Freedom Caucus’s representation on these committees is about double what it is in the broader House. And that means these members will be the Republicans that many Americans will be most familiar with.
