For speaker currently running

My thinking is that nobody would get this clearly. I see R are probably 3 different groups

McCarthy would have to do a bit of foot work to get the votes hard coalition Jeffries very unlikely to get any R voted other Republican could get some Democratic votes but not a very supportive coalition would the republican be working for McCarthy or for the coalition

My solution:

Downsides

Upsides:

My proposal of which centrist democrat for this speaker.

Rep Jared Golden of Maine.

Why?

  1. he is seen as centrist but considered 45% conservative. Also not new to house so he knows how things should work.
  2. . Can be seen joining known group the Angus King Independents
  3. As an ex military person, he would have a better response and positon to take a patriotic background against insurrectionists
