Rep. Mike Turner Suggests Bipartisan Solution May be Necessary to Elect New House Speaker

Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, suggested on CBS's "Face the Nation" that a deal with Democrats may be necessary to choose a new House speaker if Republicans are unable to elect someone on their own. Turner believes Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, would be an "excellent speaker," but that he faces an uphill climb with at least 10 to 20 Republican members opposing his nomination. Turner is open to working with Democrats to find a "mutually acceptable speaker," emphasizing the importance of the House coming together to find a solution.
