Rep. Jasmine Crockett stated, "This was supposed to be just a pro forma exercise. They're gonna pass the CR, and it has turned into an utter debacle with people openly calling for Speaker Johnson to be thrown out of the speaker's office." This reflects the unexpected depth of the crisis Democrats observe unfolding among Republicans in the House over funding negotiations.
Crockett remarked, "We have seen this play out over and over in the entire two years that I've been in Congress." She references the chaotic nature of Republican leadership struggles, highlighting consistent dysfunction.
Crockett added, "Remember, this is not like one of the most senior members... they had to go way, way down in seniority to find someone that they could come to a consensus on." This points out the challenges the Republican party faces in leadership selection.
