Given that McCarthy was quite rude about the Dems in the previous session, if they wanted favours they could probably exact a significant price. Although I suspect any suggestion he might have been talking to them might just bring the GOP lunatic fringe back on-side. If they don’t ultimately decide to play king maker and vote for McCarthy they’ll walk away from this debacle with absolutely nothing, which would be politically amateurish. Mind you, if the cap fits I suppose …
