Democrats Vow to Block Marjorie Taylor Greene's Motion to Oust Speaker Mike Johnson

House Democrats have pledged to save Speaker Mike Johnson from a potential ouster, effectively neutralizing efforts by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and a small faction of hard-right Republicans.

  • House Democrats announced they will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate, ensuring Speaker Mike Johnson's position is secure.
  • Despite support from a few hard-right Republicans, Greene's motion lacks the necessary votes, with even some GOP members opposing the move.
  • Speaker Johnson has faced criticism from within his party for bipartisan efforts on foreign aid and government spending.
  • The motion to vacate was seen as a threat to Johnson's leadership, but with Democratic support, his removal now appears unlikely.
  • This development marks a significant defeat for Greene and her supporters, who have criticized Johnson's bipartisan approach.
