Updated 9:39 p.m. | Democrats in the Problem Solvers Caucus extracted concessions from Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday regarding changes to House rules in exchange for support from eight holdouts for her speaker bid.

The agreement came early in the afternoon right as the Democratic Caucus reconvened their leadership elections and began the process for nominating Pelosi for speaker. She’s expected to win that simple-majority vote but has a tougher hurdle to climb heading into a Jan. 3 vote on the floor where she’ll need a majority of the House.

The agreement with the Problem Solvers, however, further whittles down Pelosi’s opposition.

“We said from the moment that we began our work on these reforms six months ago, that we would only support a speaker who was willing to agree to rules changes that would help Break the Gridlock,” the Problem Solvers said in a statement, referring to the name of their proposed rules package.

“We have reached such an agreement with Leader Pelosi to help Break the Gridlock for the American people and will support her, so these rules and reforms can be adopted in January,” they said.
