Is there any chance Hakeem Jeffries can end up as House Speaker?

Would it be possible for Dems to get 9 republicans to flip in favor of sensibility to slot Hakeem into the Speakership?
It only took 8 repugs to oust Mccarthy. Just sayin'

1. Of course there's a chance,

but very unlikely.

2. Maybe we could get some of the Republicans to vote present

3. Who's the most conservative Democrat in the House?

Might be able to peel off a few Republicans that way.

I doubt any of them would support Jeffries.

4. He'll be speaker when we take back the House in 2024

5. The only Rs I see "possibly" doing this are Rs who sit in Biden districts

Ideally, a handful of these Rs go to the floor, announce they're changing their party affiliation to Independent and will be caucusing with the Democrats.

As part of this, they should strike a deal with the Democrats to put forth motions on the floor to expunge from Congress Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, Good, and the other MAGAt howlers who voted to blow up McGimp.
