As Republicans consider alternative options to reopen the House while continuing their search for a permanent speaker, the party may need to rely on their colleagues from across the aisle — but it’s not yet clear whether Democrats are willing to extend their support just yet.
Other Republicans have come out against empowering the interim speaker position, arguing such a move would effectively dismantle their majority by handing power over to the Democrats. House Republicans emerged from a closed-door meeting on Thursday with scant details on what the legislation empowering McHenry would look like. At least two GOP lawmakers have floated their own resolutions that would expand the interim speaker’s powers, although it remains unclear how broad the resolution would be or how long it would last.
“I think we’re very concerned about what … an extended temporary speaker would mean in terms of managing the House,” said Rep. Don Beyer .
