(CNN)Kevin McCarthy faces growing pressure to end the impasse over his imperiled speakership bid after two consecutive days of failed votes.
But even after proposing major concessions to his hardline opponents late Wednesday, it remains unclear if the California Republican will be able to lock in the 218 votes he needs to win the gavel, and patience is wearing thin among lawmakers as the fight drags on.
McCarthy is leery of having additional votes that show 20 members are opposed to him…
"I think after that, they'll talk to Leader McCarthy and hopefully close up a deal,"…[Ohio] Republican [Warren Davidson] told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "CNN This Morning."
Still, Davidson conceded, "he may never make it to 218."
