The view among the old bulls on GOP side tonight is that the group of McCarthy critics is not a monolith and while Gaetz & Boebert and a few others might never vote aye, hard promises on how primaries and committees handled could nudge this a bit, but the talks need time unfold. — PolitiTweet.org

Part of the reason the House GOP leadership wants to adjourn tonight is they feel they're making progress with some HFC members on a possible set of parameters for some of the critics to vote "aye" or at least present. Want to give HFC members time to think thru tonight's talks. — PolitiTweet.org
