In a stunning reversal, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has made fresh concessions to a group of 20 lawmakers in hopes of ending their blockade of his speakership ahead of votes Thursday.
During late-hour negotiations Wednesday, McCarthy agreed to the proposed rule change, according to four people familiar with the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
McCarthy also expressed a willingness to place more members of the conservative Freedom Caucus on the House Rules Committee, which debates legislation before it’s moved to the floor.And he relented on allowing floor votes to institute term limits on members and to enact specific border policy legislation.
McCarthy, the Republican nominee for speaker, has failed six times to secure the necessary votes to become speaker over two days of voting, a stalemate for majority Republicans that highlighted deep divisions within the party and raised questions about whether the GOP can run the House with a slim advantage.
