Looks like Kevin McCarthy can actually do math after all. He now understands there is no pathway to Speaker of the House without conservatives and is now offering a significant compromise to get their votes.

CNN reported Friday that McCarthy has pledged to reduce the threshold required to oust a sitting speaker. He had previously made this a red line in negotiations with House conservatives, vowing to never give in.

One cannot understate the significance of this concession by McCarthy. This has been arguably the top demand from McCarthy’s critics in exchange for possibly supporting his Speaker bid.

Present rules within the Republican caucus state that majority support from members is required to force a floor vote to remove the Speaker. McCarthy is looking at shrinking the threshold to as low as five votes.

House Republicans will welcome 222 members to Congress in a few days so McCarthy is offering to reduce the threshold for ouster by over 95%. Talk about desperation. . . . more

Concession? These should be party pillars. Edit: i thought about this some more and I am now not so sure. Pelosi wielded significant power as Speaker while she was in power and now there is a push to reduce and check that power because a Republican is taking the chair. Not a fan of McCarthy but this would undermine any investigations into the Administrative deep state. Fight it out and defund the FBI!
