Bipartisan Talks Underway to End House Speaker Standoff Caused by GOP Infighting

Talks are underway between Democrats and Republicans to find a bipartisan solution to the House Speaker standoff caused by GOP infighting.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats want votes on bills with bipartisan support so extremists don't control the agenda.

Kevin McCarthy was ousted as Speaker and replaced by Patrick McHenry as interim Speaker after far-right Republicans opposed him.

Republicans nominated Jim Jordan as Speaker but over 50 Republicans voted against him, so he likely needs Democratic support.

Jeffries says Democrats want to change House rules to facilitate bipartisanship rather than letting a handful of extremists control the agenda.
