.GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy struggles to sway Republican detractors with extended conference rules debate
McCarthy won the internal leadership vote in mid-November, yet 36 members of his conference opted not to support him for the position. The California Republican can lose just four votes on the floor to obtain the gavel unless defectors vote present or refrain from voting to bring down the threshold from 218.
While the conference didn’t pass all of their demands, conservatives largely praised the extended process that allowed them to make their voices heard but argued it shouldn’t have taken the threat of derailing a leadership bid. Another GOP member sarcastically quipped, “I’m sure he has all the votes he needs now, just took him over the edge, he’s probably got 222,” when asked if holding the forum on rules helped McCarthy sway support in his direction.
