Highlights:\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
- \u201cMcCarthy is staring down the barrel of yet another defeat, which former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is warning could have disastrous consequences if the 5 overt Republican holdouts like Matt Gaetz get their way.\u201d
- \u201cMcCarthy is just McConnell a couple of decades behind. So I don\u2019t blame the 5 to 12 Republican holdouts here.\u201d
- \u201cOne of the BIG concessions that McCarthy has had to agree to was reducing the required number of votes to call a floor vote to house a sitting House speaker. This is a way that the ultra-MAGA faithful want to keep McCarthy honest. If he betrays them, if he goes full Mitch McConnell or Mittens Romney, they want it to be much easier to oust him from the speakership! So keep an eye on how many rounds of votes are needed, and keep an eye on the concessions that McCarthy is making that will hold him accountable to his promises.\u201d
