Rep.-elect Ami Bera, D-Calif., said he would support a 'unity candidate' for House speaker as the election stalemate continued into the fifth round of voting Wednesday.

"The Republicans need to fast forward this process to pick a candidate so we can get on with doing the people’s business," Bera said."I would support a unity candidate if that's what it takes, because we need a Speaker of the House." "I don’t know about whipping against Republicans trying to adjourn, a lot of things are going to happen after we start voting, but we need to speed things up, not slow them down," he said."All I know is that Democrats are aligned with Congressman Jeffries and are united together on our agenda. Let’s get this done."
Rep. Ami Bera chairs a House Committee on Foreign Affairs Asia and Pacific subcommittee hearing concerning the coronavirus outbreak, in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill, February 5, 2020, in Washington, D.C.
