This is the Speaker of the House nominating speech Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries needs for the 1/6/23 speaker vote.

The beginning of the 118th US House of Representatives has shown the abject failure of the MAGA GOP party to conduct the most basis function of governance. As we get ready for the 12th vote for Speaker of the House, the most since the Speaker election of 1824, it’s time for a bold statement by House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries in his next nomination speech. This is a bold call, yet the time now warrants bold action.
