Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) proposed several key concessions to the bloc of Republicans opposing him for speaker, including allowing just one member to call for a vote to oust the speaker, CNN reports.
In addition, he proposed allowing more members of the House Freedom Caucus to serve on the powerful Rules Committee.
Despite these concessions, McCarthy is still likely short of the 218 votes he needs to become speaker.
