Leader Jeffries has an interesting decision to make.
Do we help the gop install McHenry as a pro tempore speaker with extended powers or do we not ?
On one hand, that could be an opportunity to extract concessions and get the ball running for urgent matters like aid to Israel, Ukraine and the looming budget shutdown.
On the other hand, can we really trust the gop to hold up their side of the bargain? They reneged on the deal that was struck after the debt ceiling drama which spelled out spending levels for the next two years.
That's above my pay grade. I am glad we have a competent leader at the helm.
