Steve Bannon, former adviser to former President Donald Trump, said Friday that Representative Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, is essentially going to be the "de facto" House speaker in the next Congress.
His remarks come after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy offered a key concession to conservatives criticizing his speakership bid, CNN reported Friday, citing Republican sources who were familiar with the private conversations that McCarthy had with GOP lawmakers.
In a phone interview on Saturday, Bannon told Newsweek that there is "no chance" that Gaetz would be elected House speaker. However, he added the Florida Republican and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, together will be the "de facto" speakers or "the speaker in fact [but] not in actuality" of the House.
McCarthy, a California Republican, has conceded to reducing the threshold needed to push for a floor vote, known as the motion to vacate, by members to remove a sitting speaker. The House GOP leader hopes that this move will help him gain support from his critics.

Why are some GOP members going to vote for him? Need 50+1 to be speaker.
I guess you're an illustration of a ridiculous never Trumper, then, huh? F.O.
There are now 19-20 Republicans who won’t vote for McCarthy. McCarthy has no chance now.
Then they know something that needs to be told to the public. And so goes the good ‘ole boys club...deceitful, self-important, using privilege to cover what should not be covered up. (Or maybe they have been purchased.) Thanks for the info.
So funny that you mentioned those two who both have hastert problems.
One of his wins was Kevin McCarthy. You think he was going to lose his house seat? No way. Trump won a lot of seats he endorsed that were guaranteed wins. The tough seats were where he failed.
No neither one does. Unless you believe the lies of the left.
A huge movie is coming out on Jordan. And it’s release date is January 8th.
So...you already believe it huh?
I guess you also believe the J6 commission report. LOL
I know I should wait for the movie. Sheesh calm the heck down.
Or maybe do your own research like I did and realized it’s all a bunch of lies.
Really? You must relearn to read. Did he take a little girl from Florida to DC? Yes.
Was Jordan a coach when little boys were being molested? Yes. At the least, he was in the locker room when it occurred. Boys will be boys you say?
You are spreading lies. The Democrat underground misses you.
You are so clever. No wonder you can only round up 20 supporters for your guy who doesn’t even want the job Lol. You seem to wear loser well.
Yep you’re definitely needed at DU. Quit telling the fr.
