The vote orchestrated by a group of far-right lawmakers leaves the House without leadership. The speaker was unable to manage a bitter power struggle within the Republican Party.
Honestly, any Republican that tries to work with the Democrats at this point is going to get eaten alive. Even if it’s a “moderate” one. They have completely gone off the deep end.

Exactly, the only way to govern in a multi party system is bipartisan. Most Republicans cannot put anything above the party line anymore.
Which given the composition of the Senate and that whole executive branch thing this means they’ll never get anything done.
Well, the far right faction of Republicans did already side with Dems to oust the speaker.
Bipartisanship is alive and well!
