. first, we are now on night thre of the battle for the house speaker and we begin tonight with some good news i can confirm that major negotiations have been going on all day behind the scenes well these votes were taking place today. with kevin mccarthy and many of the republican holdouts. i can report that at this hour of document is being put together that will go a long wa to settling differences. will it get kevin to 218? we won t know until probably sometime tomorrow or monday. if anything it would probably b a couple of votes short, but progress is real tonight at thi hour. no doubt you the american peopl are being patient, but the patients is wearing thin. the vote totals remain unchange for three straight days for a 200 publicans supporting mc carthy 20 supporting somebody else in the past 24 hours might kevin mccarthy has made several additional assurances to the holdouts, thi is before these meetings today including eight new one-vote threshold for motion to vacat
today s vote. and just so you know the prompter could add two asterisks and some boldness to it to make sure i said it. all of this we are told contains more concessions to the conservative fold outs but insiders are signaling that even that may not be enough to get him to 218 votes and the stalemate could continue to route that we can. this is outnumbered i m harris faulkner with my cohost emily compagno also joining us today kennedy, jessica tarlov, and bill hemmer, you know the news is big when you get for lexmark let s do this. let s take a look at things live on the floor today. one thing we have not seen, bill, as we haven t seen them come right out and reconvene for a recess. we are probably not likely to see that anymore because it s so hard to get them to agree on a journey. bill: i was wondering because i can t remember but how did that bill murray movie and after all? groundhog day? harris: oh, my goodness! they were in love! to think she is in the movie? do

in this moment it s unclear if there is any concession they will accept beyond kevin mccarthy taking his name out of consideration. unclear if the house adjourns as soon as it gavels in or the opposition is going to force mccarthy to stomach another vote and likely public humiliation. cnn s capitol hill team is tracking every development on very little sleep. let s check in with manu raju. manu, mccarthy allies remain worried and now they re worried that they might even begin to hemorrhage even more support on a potential fourth ballot. yeah, that s been the reason why there have been active suggests to try to delay today s vote, move to adjourn the house immediately as they come into session at noon. but here s the problem. they don t have the votes to do that and i just talked to two republican members of the leadership team who just left kevin mccarthy s office, richard hudson and tom emmer. both said the vote will happen at noon. they expect that to happen and the reaso
