Mr. Speaker mr. Speaker, you may agree with this, but we are back here 22 days into this republican manufactured chaos and House Republicans have brought us to the exact same position that we were back then. All of the infighting, all of the disarray, just to end up where we were three weeks ago. These past few weeks we have been left wondering if republicans were truly intent on solving our issues, reopening the house of representatives and rallying around someone to lead this chamber, or has this been about Something Else .

212 is our call for a speaker who will secure liberty, justice and opportunity for everyone. Well, the unanimous call of 212 House Democrats has been answered.

[ applause ] leader jeffries has answered our call, but the majoritys nominee is disconnected, disconnected from the American People and their values. Maga extremism is designed to divide, and it has broken the republican party. Their nominees vision is a direct attack on the freedom and the rights of the American People.
