House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Sunday that talks surrounding a possible bipartisan solution to the speakership situation are underway.
"There are informal conversations that have been underway," Jeffries told host Kristen Welker. “When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions.”"At this point, that is on my House Republican colleagues.
"The current rules of the House have facilitated a handful of Republicans being able to determine what gets voted on in the House of Representatives and that undermines the interests of the American people. We can change the rules to facilitate bipartisanship and that should be the starting point of our conversation."
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, won the House GOP conference nomination for speaker on Friday. However, Jordan appeared to be well short of the 217 votes needed to seize the gavel.
