What McCarthy has offered his GOP opponents, and what’s under discussion
BY EMILY BROOKS - 01/06/23 2:44 PM ETHere are the tentative agreements and offers that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has made, and others under discussion, as he aims to woo the 20 Republicans voting against him for Speaker.
Thirteen of those 20 Republicans backed McCarthy in Friday’s vote, edging him closer to the Speakership.
Several said their votes were pending negotiations.
What McCarthy has offered Motion to vacate: McCarthy has offered to lower the threshold to bring up a move to force a vote on ousting the House Speaker down to just one member, a change from a threshold of five members that was revealed in a House rules package over New Year’s weekend.
That was also lowered from a threshold of half of the House GOP conference that was agreed to in November.
Floor vote to establish term limits for all House lawmakers: Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), who has introduced a term limits bill, said McCarthy made that commitment.
Floor vote on a border security bill: In a House GOP conference call on Friday, Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.) said there will be movement on legislation encompassing a border security plan crafted by Texas Republicans, according to a source.
