    Republicans could just vote for Jefferies and be done with it. He has the most votes and they wouldn’t need to appease the extreme right or they could work with democrats on finding a good compromise speaker. However, Republicans can’t even compromise amongst themselves, so it is unlikely that they will compromise with Democrats. This is 100% Republicans fault
