Jack, it’s been two weeks since MAGA Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy as speaker.

Congress only has until Nov. 17 to avoid a costly government shutdown, but all House business has come to a standstill as the GOP continues their embarrassing spectacle.

The House is expected to vote on a new speaker today. Jim Jordan is currently the most likely candidate but there are still a few GOP holdouts. There is another option: Hakeem Jeffries. Jeffries has unanimous support from all 212 House Democrats. Now, he just needs five House Republicans to recognize their own leadership vacuum and make a deal.

Sign if you agree: No more MAGA circus. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker.

Jack, House Republicans have failed to rally around a new Speaker—after Kevin McCarthy became the first Speaker in U.S. history to get booted out. From Steve Scalise to Jim Jordan, it's clear that none of them can get 217 votes.

Meanwhile, House Democrats are unified around Hakeem Jeffries—who has earned their unanimous support for Speaker with no drama. It's time to make him the next Speaker.

It might seem amusing to watch Republicans in disarray, but the reality is no joke. Without a House Speaker, Congress is unable to pass legislation or take most meaningful action.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking: the federal government will run out of funding on November 17th when the short term spending bill expires. If Congress fails to act, we will have a shutdown. And with multiple foreign crises that demand attention, the world is waiting.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries stands strong with unanimous backing from all 212 House Democrats. Now, he just needs five House Republicans to recognize their own leadership vacuum and lend their support.
