There’s a lot of outstanding legislation - border security, Israel & Ukraine defense packages, etc - that needs to get done before the Election. Trump has come out against a lot of this stuff to try to hurt Biden, so Traditional Republicans would rather resign and hand Dems the House than be seen as going against Trump/cooperating with Democrats on a bipartisan basis. I think we will see Speaker Jeffries before Memorial Day and House Dems will ram through the outstanding bipartisan legislation that already been agreed upon by cooler heads in the Senate.
