McCarthy on pace to fall short in 12th speaker vote, but picks up new votes
Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., is one of several Republicans who have been voting against Kevin McCarthy.
Lawmakers and staff told Fox News just before the vote that a final deal has not yet been reached, but that they were in a"good spot." The seven remaining GOP holdouts are Reps.-elect Andy Biggs of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Elijah Crane of Arizona, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Bob Good of Virginia, Andy Harris of Maryland and Matt Rosendale of Montana.
McCarthy’s team will be focusing on those members for possible new concessions, but another option is to see if some of them might eventually agree to vote"present."
