Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a resolution to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, citing his support for a $1.2 trillion spending package.
  • The motion to vacate has not been immediately acted upon, but it raises the potential for chaos in the House similar to the ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
  • Greene's move has frustrated many Republicans, who are concerned about the party's unity and focus ahead of the upcoming elections.
  • Some Republicans are considering supporting Johnson to avoid further turmoil, while Democrats may negotiate to protect him in exchange for policy concessions.
  • The outcome of Greene's resolution remains uncertain, with potential implications for GOP leadership and legislative priorities.
