Chief CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju tweeted that Kevin McCarthy has offered to surrender more power to Republican holdouts to win their votes.
x News: McCarthy proposes key concessions.
- allow just one member to call for a vote to oust a speaker, per two sources
- more members of Freedom Caucus to serve on powerful House Rules Committee
- Promises to vote on some bills like term limits and border security

After failing to win the gavel as Speaker of the US House, Kevin McCarthy is apparently promising to give up more control to the 20 members who are holding him, and the US House hostage.
McCarthy may see that if he does not gain some momentum in the next vote or two, an alternative candidate may emerge. One that may be more acceptable to the renegades.
Should Kevin McCarthy obtain the speakership, he likely will have a very short and chaotic term.
