A powerful Republican is looking to Democrats to help resolve his party’s impasse over naming a speaker of the House.

    Just a thought, but maybe something like this

    GOP and Dems agree to a list of concessions

    GOP nominates Jeffries (or just have a few GOP congressmen be conveniently absent).

    Concessions get passed.

    Jeffries steps down.

    Democrats nominate previously agreed on GOP speaker.

    Republicans don’t hold up their end of the bargain, Jeffries just stays as speaker.

    Dems don’t hold up their end of the bargain, GOP still has the majority so they can hold up any legislation.
