Don Bacon Would Work with Democrats to Elect Speaker

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) writes in the Daily Caller that he would work with Democrats to elect a speaker if Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is unsuccessful.

“Much has been made of me saying I would work with moderate Democrats to elect a more moderate speaker. But my actual words were that if the five refused to coalesce around what the vast majority of the conference wants, I’m willing to work across the aisle to find an agreeable Republican.”

“We cannot be held captive by a small number and run the risk of delaying the formation of committees and working on the agenda we promised Americans this past November.”
