House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy faces further hurdles from a group of nine hardline GOP figures who are withholding their support for his bid to become Speaker of the House, according to multiple reports.

 

McCarthy spoke to the group in a conference call on Sunday, Politico and CNN reported. The House GOP then announced several concessions in a provisional rules package, per CNN.

 

However, the nine lawmakers said in a letter that "there continue to be missing commitments with respect to virtually every component of our entreaties, and no means to measure whether promises are kept or broken."

 

The letter was signed by Reps. Scott Perry, Paul Gosar, Dan Bishop, Chip Roy, Andy Harris, Andrew Clyde; and Reps.-elect Andy Ogles, Anna Paulina Luna, and Eli Crane.
