With the current stalemate Dems will end up with a house speaker on a short leash to insurectionist and traitor Donald Trump. Their votes for Hakeem Jeffries are wasted.

They can and must seize the opportunity to get a Republican of THEIR choosing. The must take control and nominate Fred Upton or David Joyce with THEIR strings attached not the Chaos and Coup Caucasus'.

House Democrats should unite with moderate Republicans to elect a speaker

In exchange for backing a relatively moderate Republican such as Fred Upton or David Joyce as speaker, Democrats should demand they get equal seats on committees
