House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries rallied his caucus to save House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday, or to at least prevent Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from getting a victory.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., speaks with reporters to discuss a proposal of sending crucial bipartisan support to aid Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan after weeks of inaction on Capitol Hill Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in Washington.
Wednesday night’s vote marks yet another instance where Democrats have bailed out the Louisiana Republican, who has struggled to wrangle his rebellious conference since winning the gavel six months ago. “I’m not a cheap date, and this doesn’t mean forever,” Mr. McGovern said. “You know, maybe because we were the adults on Ukraine, and I think we’re showing we’re the adults in trying to prevent chaos from prevailing here, that maybe we get a little respect.”
