What viewers saw on TV on Wednesday night was one of the most visible holdouts, Rep., as host Stephanie Ruhle pressed her on claims that opposition to McCarthy is growing even though no votes changed in the three roll calls on Wednesday. In fact, it got so repetitive that Rep. Kat Cammack , in nominating McCarthy, said, “It’s groundhog day again.”But Boebert told Ruhle, “As some of my colleagues said, we could be here until the cherry blossoms bloom.
But Boebert, who along with Rep. Matt Gaetz left a meeting with McCarthy Wednesday evening insisting that nothing had changed the calculus, may be intractable where other holdouts are not. Punchbowl News and other outlets reported that talks have been ongoing with Rep. Chip Roy , who has been a key leader in the anti-McCarthy group, and McCarthy has been agreeing to a number of concessions.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , who as surrogate for McCarthy has, amazingly enough, tried to be a voice of reason against the holdouts, told reporters on Wednesday, “This is the problem with the ‘never’ movement,” she said. “Just like there was ‘never Trump,’ that stopped people from working together, and now we are seeing it here with the ‘never Kevin,’ and Matt Gaetz was very open about that.”
