Jeffries Urges GOP to Allow Votes on Bipartisan Bills Amid Speaker Stalemate

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) argues Republicans should allow more bipartisan bills to get votes, given their internal divisions.

Jeffries says a "small band of extremists" currently has too much power to block bills with broad support.

With no Speaker, the House can't function normally to advance legislation.

Jeffries wants rules changed to "promote governance by consensus" and allow "up-or-down votes" on bipartisan bills.

House Republicans are unlikely to agree, still stung by McCarthy's ouster with Democratic votes and wanting to maintain power.
