The standoff at the Minnesota House of Representatives has now entered its third week, with DFL lawmakers refusing to return until a power-sharing agreement is reached. On Tuesday, the House chamber was half-empty as negotiations between Republicans and Democrats continue in search of a resolution. The DFL has offered to let Republicans have all positions of power in the House for seven weeks until a vote in Roseville, while Republicans are pushing for a two-year hold on leadership positions. The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that the GOP takeover cannot happen until a quorum of 68 members is present.
Democrats have extended their boycott, citing work in their districts, but may be facing a lose-lose situation in terms of public perception. Both parties remain hopeful for a deal to come together this week, with Secretary of State Steve Simon set to check on the numbers again on Wednesday. The House turmoil in Minnesota continues as both sides stand firm on their positions.
