Republican Caucus call ends up being another debate with Matt Gaetz -- but this time McCarthy gave in [View all]

Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) path to the Speaker of the House continues to be a difficult one as a call with the Republican Caucus ended with huge concessions and more debates with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

Politico reporter Olivia Beavers wrote that a GOP source told her that they would only agree to a rules change that would make it easier to topple the Speaker of the House.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) reportedly asked Gaetz if Republicans lowered the threshold for the motion to vacate if he would ultimately support McCarthy for Speaker. Gaetz then replied that McCarthy wouldn't agree to it. McCarthy then argued that it's the conference wouldn't find it acceptable.
