The impasse between House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and a small faction of House Republicans continues, as the January vote for a new House speaker draws closer.

On Friday, the California congressman told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that the five Republican lawmakers who oppose McCarthy becoming House speaker still are not budging from their stances.

"We're still continuing to talk, but they have not moved," said McCarthy.

The key needed promise is to change the rules to allow vacating the chair by majority vote any time. So if McCarthy, or whomever, breaks promises they can be thrown out mid term. Without that rules changes no other promises matter.
