Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola said she doesn’t see a solution until Republicans reach across the aisle to elect the next speaker.
Alaska Congresswoman Mary Peltola said she’s ready to help forge a bipartisan solution to the leadership crisis that has paralyzed the U.S. House, but so far the Republican majority seems determined to select a leader on their own.
Thursday marked the 16th day without a House speaker. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, remains the leading Republican candidate for the job. He has fallen well short of the 217 votes needed, and some 20 Republicans who oppose him appear to be dug in. Meanwhile, all 212 Democrats have repeatedly voted to support House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
“I think that the Democratic caucus — I can certainly speak for myself: I am very attentive to any way that I could help this situation. There just doesn’t seem to be a play for our caucus at this time,” she said.
