“If five Republicans go with Democrats, I’m out,” McCarthy added, before predicting: “I’m confident I’ll hold on.”Democrats emerged from a Tuesday morning caucus meeting seemingly united in their determination not to bail out the Californian, who liberal lawmakers said had already made too many concessions to the far-right members of his conference.
“Even if Kevin McCarthy were to say he would do something, there’s not a whole lot of trust that he’ll live up to whatever he commits to,” added Rep. Dan Kildee . “Just given his history, it’s really difficult to imagine taking what Kevin McCarthy says at face value.”The actual vote on Gaetz’s motion will be proceeded by a vote on a motion to table, which would kill the effort to unseat McCarthy if successful.
The speaker also ruled out making any concessions to Democrats to ensure he would continue in post past Tuesday afternoon.
