.RepMattGaetz vows to continue speaker stalemate until GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy concedes or limits power
Rep. Matt Gaetz , who has been one of McCarthy’s most vocal opponents, pledged not to back down in the House speaker showdown, intensifying what has already been a dayslong fight as the chamber looks to elect its next leader. The House is set to reconvene at noon on Thursday for its third day of leadership elections after lawmakers adjourned the night before without selecting a speaker.“I think this ends one of two ways,” Gaetz told Fox News after the House adjourned on Wednesday.
The compromise builds on previous concessions in which McCarthy agreed to lower the number of votes needed to oust him from the position possibly should he be elected, marking a significant win for far-right conservatives such as Gaetz.
