House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told NBC News that there are informal conversations about a bipartisan solution to the inability of House Republicans to elect a speaker.
Said Jeffries: “There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions.
”He added: “House Republicans have been focused on fighting each other. It’s time to end the Republican civil war so we can get back to doing the business of the American people. And we as House Democrats are committed to finding that bipartisan path forward in a meaningful way.”
