The House Freedom Caucus could reportedly stymie GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy's bid for the House Speakership

Its chairman, Scott Perry, told Politico that McCarthy had not responded to the caucus' demands that were presented to him before Election Day

Perry is trying to delay next week's House Republican leadership elections

President Biden phoned McCarthy after calling a series of victorious Democrats

He said he's 'ready to compromise' with Republicans during his press conference

Republicans have not locked down a 218-member majority yet as of Thursday

McCarthy wrote colleagues to 'humbly' seek their support on Wednesday

They may not win the majority anyway, so he be minority leader again. The GOP is fading fast as a viable party.

This is why a slim majority is actually better. The real McCoy's like Thomas Massie hold more power now.

His most prominent endorser for the role must be immensely disappointed.

Trump was crossing his fingers behind his back when he made that endorsement.

Seriously, doesn't that endorsement show solidarity with the GOP rank and file? DeSantis would have done the same thing.

Jim Jordan is who I would like to step up, unless that puts him in a spot where he cant be on the freedom caucus board that will investigate Biden.

They've picked up House seats in the last two cycles. Will likely make it 3 in 2024 and much more favorable Senate field is in play for them in 2024.

Perhaps - my point was that yall trip over yourself to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and then at the same time seize on the slightest little thing to "prove" that DeSantis is a fraud

We need a house speaker that will do to Biden what Pelosi did to Trump.

He's a problem. Would be good for him to lose the leadership position.
