Support for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy<\/a> taking the top spot in the House could be waning after a letter from nine GOP House members warned electing him to be speaker would be a “continuation of past and ongoing Republican failures.”<\/p>\n

Last week, the California Republican floated a congressional rule change that would make it easier to remove a House speaker<\/a> in exchange for his rise to the post, a key demand from powerful GOP opponents.<\/p>\n

Under current rules, which were imposed under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, only a member of the House leadership can offer a motion to vacate, while the new proposal would allow any member of the House to force a vote to remove the speaker, at any time.<\/p>\n

KEVIN MCCARTHY FLOATS CONCESSION ON ALLOWING CONSERVATIVES TO REMOVE HOUSE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, McCarthy met with GOP members to try and rally support for his speakership vote on Jan. 3, when the new Congress takes office. The embattled Republican leader conceded rank-and-file members will be allowed to call for the speaker’s removal, though he wasn’t clear about how many members would need to sign on to the motion, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The meeting came after his letter on New Year\u2019s Eve, titled “Restoring the People\u2019s House and Ending Business as Usual,” which was his admission of the deep dysfunction of the House of Representatives and his pitch to make it right.<\/p>\n

In response to McCarthy\u2019s letter, GOP Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Chip Roy of Texas, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Andy Harris of Maryland and Andrew Clyde of Georgia, along with Rep.-elects Andy Nogales of Tennessee, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Eli Crane of Arizona sent a letter of their own.<\/p>\n

“Regrettably, however, despite some progress achieved, Mr. McCarthy\u2019s statement comes almost impossibly late to address continued deficiencies ahead of the opening of the 118th Congress on January 3rd,” the letter stated. “At this state, it cannot be a surprise that expressions of vague hopes reflected in far too many of the crucial points still under debate are insufficient. This is especially true\u00a0with respect to Mr. McCarthy\u2019s candidacy for speaker because the times call for radical departure from the status quo \u2013 not a continuation of past and ongoing, Republican failures.”<\/p>\n

SEVEN MORE HOUSE REPUBLICANS THREATEN TO OPPOSE MCCARTHY WITHOUT CONCESSIONS ON HOUSE RULES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The letter continues to say that McCarthy\u2019s 14-year presence in senior house leadership puts the burden of House dysfunction on him, which he now admits.<\/p>\n

Rep. Andy Biggs<\/a> announced in early December that he would run against McCarthy for speaker.<\/p>\n

“We cannot let this all too rare opportunity to effectuate structural change pass us by because it is uncomfortable to challenge the Republican candidate who is a creature of the establishment status quo, or because the challenge is accompanied by some minimal risk,” Biggs wrote in an Op-Ed for the Daily Caller at the time.<\/p>\n

Biggs and four other Republicans pledged to vote against McCarthy, which could be problematic with the party\u2019s slim majority \u2014 218 votes are needed to clinch the speaker seat.<\/p>\n

ANDY BIGGS TO CHALLENGE KEVIN MCCARTHY FOR SPEAKER ON HOUSE FLOOR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Biggs’ candidacy is largely seen as an opportunity to showcase that McCarthy cannot get the 218 votes required to be speaker. McCarthy’s opponents say that once that reality becomes clear, other alternatives will step up.<\/p>\n

Republicans in the incoming House have a majority with 222 seats, and McCarthy needs 218 votes to clinch the speakership. With five opposed, theoretically he only needs one vote from those five to get that spot.<\/p>\n

But those votes could be fluttering away.<\/p>\n

“Mr. McCarthy\u2019s statement also continues to propose to restrict the availability of the traditional motion to vacate the chair as a means of holding leadership accountable to its promises; we have from the beginning made clear that we will not accept following Nancy Pelosi\u2019s example by insulating leadership in this way,” the nine House GOP members said in their letter on Sunday. “We also note that the statement fails completely to address the issue of leadership working to defeat conservatives in open primaries.\u00a0The progress made thus far has been helpful and should guide our thinking going forward.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
