.GOPLeader McCarthy critics say concession on motion to vacate doesn't go far enough
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is continuing to struggle to lock down the votes needed to become the next Speaker just two days ahead of the floor vote, with conservatives stating that his major concessions laid out on a New Year’s day conference call fell short of what is needed to secure their support.
“They started [the call] with this new rules package that we're all about to see and are obviously saying the rules package - it's great, everyone worked so hard, we got all these great things and they're gonna be historic. And then [Gaetz] got on there and said, 'Well, if everyone wants the rules package, we should accept it no matter who the speaker is because if these are good rules are good rules, right?’” the lawmaker said.
McCarthy stated"Well, if it's one will you vote for me?" Gaetz responded:"Is that an offer?" to which McCarthy responded:"There's other people that don't like five so they'll really not like one." “Regrettably, however, despite some progress achieved, Mr. McCarthy’s statement comes almost impossibly late to address continued deficiencies ahead of the opening of the 118th Congress on January 3rd. At this stage, it cannot be a surprise that expressions of vague hopes reflected in far too many of the crucial points still under debate are insufficient,” they wrote.
