Itās not hard to find five Republicans from a moderate district full of Never Trumpers. They would secure their seat voting for Jeffries and see their own legislation get pushed through.
If the moderates voted in the primary, perhaps.
They should, but I donāt think they do.
I would personally love to see that happen, but I think itās unlikely. It would probably be more likely to get a more conservative compromise Democrat as speaker of the house, but only after the Republican party festers for another week or two.
So who are they and why hasnāt Jeffries been elected yet?
GOP House rules, they wonāt vote until they have 217 votes.
Ok Charlie Brown, try and kick that football! Iām rooting for you.
