'It is numerically possible': House Dem claims Hakeem Jeffries could win speaker vote

Raw Story  

The Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee claimed Friday that it's "numerically possible" for Democrats to thwart Republicans and vote in House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as the new House Speaker. Rep. Gerry Connolly told CNN's Jim Acosta that House Democrats are firmly behind Jeffries as current House Speaker Mike Johnson fights to keep his job. If enough Republicans vote 'present', we could actually elect Hakeem Jeffries, not Mike Johnson as speaker." Massie told Matt Gaetz on the former Florida representative's new One America News Network show Thursday that he'd rather have someone "pull all my fingers out" than vote for Johnson.
