McCarthy offers concessions to detractors with House rules package
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) offered some key concessions to his detractors in a House rules package released by Republicans on Sunday, but it is still far from clear whether the moves will help him lock up the votes necessary to become Speaker on Jan. 3.
The compromises include allowing a move to “vacate the chair” — a move to force a vote on ousting the Speaker — with the approval of five Republican members, rather than a threshold of at least half of the House GOP conference that Republicans adopted in an internal rule in November. 
The chamber is also set to create a House Judiciary select subcommittee on the “Weaponization of the Federal Government,” an apparent recognition of a request to increase scrutiny on the Biden administration and intelligence agencies.
In a letter to GOP colleagues, McCarthy — speaking as “Speaker-designate” — also addressed a request from conservatives to have more representation on committees.
“I will use my selections on key panels to ensure they more closely reflect the ideological makeup of our conference, and will advocate for the same when it comes to the membership of standing committees. This will facilitate greater scrutiny of bills from the start so they stand a greater chance of passing in the end,” the letter from McCarthy said.
The moves, though, have yet to move any of those whose resistance threatens to keep McCarthy from the gavel.
“I think what he’s trying to do is the bare minimum that he needs to try and get to where he can get the votes. And that’s not indicative of somebody that really wants to embrace new ideas, reject the status quo and unify all members in the conference,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus who has not committed to voting either for or against the GOP leader, told The Hill on Sunday.
House Republicans held a New Year’s Day call on the rules package on Sunday afternoon. After the call, a group of nine hard-line conservatives released a letter saying that McCarthy’s response does not adequately meet their standard for the motion to vacate the chair and said he did not address a request for leadership to not work to defeat conservatives in open primaries.
“At this stage, it cannot be a surprise that expressions of vague hopes reflected in far too many of the crucial points still under debate are insufficient,” the members said in the letter.
