House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) called for Republicans to “get their act together” and elect the next speaker while slamming the “extremists” within their party.
Jeffries needs 5 more votes to win.
A Republican nomination needs 217.
To be fair, he seems pretty clear that the he is willing to direct the caucus to vote for an agreed upon republican, rather than seek the speakership himself.
Right. Republicans would never agree to a Democrat speaker. They would rather watch the country burn down than to do that.
Now there is an endless list of other things they may need to agree to for Democrats to partner.
Republicans would never agree to a Democrat speaker.
You don’t know that. Their entire house is broken. Dem’s need five. Its 100% on the table.
It is absolutely wild to me that most major news organizations are completely ignoring the fact that the guy the GOP was trying to put into the speakership until a day or two ago is an overt white supremacist. Like… news anchors are straight up omitting that entire point. It’s not even being mentioned in passing comments.

Bruh I’m gonna need you to be more specific.
