Talks of a possible bipartisan solution to the House Speaker standoff that has created chaos in the Republican caucus are underway, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday.

“There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions,” the New York Democrat said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

When asked what House Democrats might be asking for a deal with House Republicans, Jeffries said his caucus wants “to ensure that votes are taken on bills that have substantial Democratic support and substantial Republican support so that the extremists aren’t able to dictate the agenda.”

    You and I know that, but come on, we both know that most conservatives simply think that anything remotely related to him that sounds criminal is damning.

    It’s an incredibly potent tool for getting out the votes. They don’t even need an indictment. All they need is for the American public to question whether or not Biden is honest/corrupt. When you’re talking about over 100 million people voting the peel off effect can be significant. That’s how you get people to not show up and vote if they’re not already committed to Biden, and it galvanizes your base/gets them to the polls.
