House lawmakers will vote for a speaker after nearly two weeks without a lawmaker wielding the gavel, and some Democrats are salivating at the Republican candidate's possible victory.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, talks with reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Oct. 13, 2023. **FILE**House lawmakers will vote for a speaker after nearly two weeks without a lawmaker wielding the gavel, and some Democrats are salivating at the Republican candidate’s possible victory.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York has continued to press that Republicans and Democrats must find a bipartisan solution for the speakership. Still, a victory by the GOP’s speaker designate could turn into a political win for House Democrats. The Washington Times has reached out to Mr. Jeffries’ office on that point.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out messaging guidance in a memo directing Democrats to make moderate Republicans and conservative lawmakers in battleground districts pay for a victory by Mr. Jordan.
