Gaetz's Speaker Revolt Could Backfire as Deal Emerges to Break Impasse

There is growing speculation that Matt Gaetz's move to oust Kevin McCarthy could backfire.

A bipartisan group of around 10 Democrats and Republicans is discussing a deal to break the deadlock.

This could involve Democrats backing a moderate Republican for speaker in return for concessions.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham warned that this is Gaetz's "legacy."

Gaetz dismissed the speculation, saying the new speaker will be "more conservative than McCarthy."
