Refusing to drop out, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan is telling GOP colleagues he will back a temporary speaker as he works to shore up support to win the gavel himself.

    can’t believe this is the bar that is being set

    It’s almost exactly the bar!

    Congressional Democrats said they would support a temporary Speaker until January provided:

    • They voted to certify the 2020 election
    • They aren’t in the Freedom Caucus
    • They support the debt ceiling deal between Biden and McCarthy
    • They have a “track record” of governing

    FWIW, McHenry seems to meet all the requirements (he helped negotiate the debt ceiling bill)
