Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, told reporters Thursday after a closed-door House GOP meeting that he wants Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tell Republicans what concessions they’ll have to make for Democrats to help them elect a speaker—underscoring the chaotic race to find a new House leader as Republican options grow short to overcome an intraparty impasse.

    If they don’t want to rush Republican ire by voting for a Democrat speaker, then they should just switch parties to Democrat. Especially if they’re in a purple area, it could be viable in the next election, as well.
