Aaron Blake/Washington Post:
The bipartisan speaker fantasy
It remains very unlikely, but certain Republicans appear intent on tempting their colleagues
The effort appears to have been injected with some urgency thanks to Republicans now having nominated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the hard-right Freedom Caucus founder, after Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) bowed out Thursday night.
Maybe it’s unlikely, but it’s more likely each successive day we don’t have a Speaker. It won’t be Hakeem Jeffries but it might be a less radical Republican.
