What House Democrats Might Want for Their Votes

Politico: “During a private caucus meeting on Thursday, Jeffries’ message was essentially to ‘wait and see’ if Republicans make a formal offer in exchange for Democratic help on a vote to empower McHenry.”

Playbook: “Among the concessions that Democrats could potentially seek: Pursuing full-year FY2024 appropriations at the levels agreed to in the debt-limit deal passed earlier this year; guaranteeing a House vote on a supplemental funding package for Ukraine, Israel and more; and ensuring that no Republican who voted to reject 2020 electoral votes holds the gavel.”

“And one other thing: It’s hard to see Democrats agreeing to any deal as long as Jordan is still pursuing the speakership.”
