The White House is distancing itself from the House Republican speakership standoff despite the Israel war underscoring the importance of having an operational Congress.
The speakership standoff has already complicated the U.S. reaction to the Israel-Hamas conflict with confusion over whether Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry could participate in top intelligence briefings. McHenry did take part in a White House meeting Friday before Biden sends Congress a supplemental funding request regarding Israel next week.
Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , have made"clear overtures" that they are willing to collaborate, deGruyter added. "Democrats support President Biden's policies, but they might push back if he openly tried to tell them how to conduct their own business," he said."Any intervention would have to go through back channels.""They have no percentage in getting involved in congressional dysfunction," he said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated this week that the speakership standoff is House Republicans's"process," contending Biden"doesn't have a vote."
