House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters Friday that he's confident he'll have the votes to get elected House speaker when the chamber reconvenes at 10 p.m. for the 14th roll call vote.

"Yes," McCarthy told a reporter when asked if he would have the votes to become speaker Friday night.

When asked if McCarthy would be able to convince two GOP holdouts, Reps.-elect Eli Crane, R-Ariz., and Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., the California Republican replied, "I'll have the votes."

"Because I counted," McCarthy said when asked again why he's confident he'll cross the finish line Friday evening.

McCarthy flipped 15 Republican holdouts on Friday morning after an agreement was struck between friends and foes of McCarthy, including many members of the House Freedom Caucus.
