As Kevin McCarthy begins the final descent of his turbulent bid for the speaker’s gavel, Republicans are bracing to see whether he lands the plane or crashes and burns
“Nothing changes when nothing changes, and that must start from the top. Time to make the change or get out of the way,” Freedom Caucus Chair Rep.The signatures on that letter included three incoming members who some House Republicans think could vote against McCarthy. One of them, Rep.-electof Florida, told Steve Bannon on his podcast last week that she’s “gotten a lot of emails from people” urging her to oppose the California Republican and that “I do listen to what my constituents say.
Meanwhile, it sparked frustration from McCarthy’s supporters, who questioned what else he’d have to offer his opponents in order to secure their votes. Bacon added that he thought McCarthy had “done enough” describing the negotiations so far as “unilateral concessions without getting anything back in return.” And while lawmakers expect that McCarthy might cut more, smaller deals before the speaker vote, some are warning that allowing just one member to force a vote to depose a speaker would be a step too far.
“You’ll see that name tomorrow on the second ballot,” Good, one of McCarthy’s detractors, teased during a Fox News interview on Monday.
