: “No one has got a clear vote that will get you there. And so we’re having a conversation about what it takes.”But the holdouts are starting to drop some hints. And with a month to go before the Jan. 3 vote for speaker, it’s worth running down some of the names being floated.The No. 2 House Republican is the most obvious and readily available stand-in if McCarthy can’t get there.
