Rep. Matt Gaetz confirmed that a deal, made in writing, that had"multiple forms" was cut between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and GOP rebels during the speakership vote earlier this month.
Earlier this month, a band of roughly 20 House Republican members voted against McCarthy for speaker. Gaetz was among the most prominent members. McCarthy underwent 15 rounds of voting before he locked down the speaker's gavel, which came after Gaetz opted to vote present to lower the threshold for him. The multiple rounds of voting marked the first time since at least 1859 a speaker needed that many votes to win the gavel.
While some of McCarthy's concessions are publicly known, such as his agreement to lower the requirement to bring forward a"motion to vacate" the speaker to one representative, others remain shrouded in mystery. During the interview, Melber noted a Punchbowl News report that described the three-page document that McCarthy worked out with the members of the House Freedom Caucus.
