Rep. Kevin McCarthy made several concessions to his conservative critics in an attempt to salvage his bid for speaker of the House on Sunday.
Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., and Bob Good, R-Va., have already vowed to oppose McCarthy's bid.
McCarthy told Fox News Digital he is confident that his concessions have convinced some lawmakers who were on the fence. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz conduct a news conference in the Capitol Visitor Center on Nov. 17, 2022."In sports, when the team loses games it is supposed to win, the coach gets fired. In business, when earnings vastly miss projections, the CEO is replaced. In Republican politics, a promotion shouldn’t be failure’s chaser," Gaetz argued.
