Jeffries Open to Bipartisan Cooperation to End Speaker Deadlock, Approve Aid Packages

Jeffries says Democrats are willing to work with moderate Republicans to elect a speaker and get the House functioning again.

He says aid packages for Israel and Ukraine are being held up by the speaker deadlock.

Jeffries says Scalise alone likely does not have the 217 votes needed to become speaker.

He suggests restructuring House rules to allow more bipartisan cooperation and up-or-down votes.

Jeffries stresses the urgency of funding the government and approving aid for Israel and Ukraine.
