Speaker Mike Johnson Survives Ouster Attempt with Bipartisan Support

In a rare display of cross-party unity, both Democrats and Republicans voted to thwart Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bid to remove Speaker Mike Johnson.

The motion to oust Johnson was decisively defeated with a vote of 359-43, showcasing significant bipartisan opposition to Greene's proposal.
Former President Donald Trump publicly supported Johnson, urging unity among Republicans despite Greene's aggressive campaign.
Only 11 Republicans supported the motion, reflecting a lack of widespread GOP backing for Greene's efforts.
Democrats largely voted to keep Johnson, viewing his willingness to negotiate on major legislation as beneficial despite ideological differences.
The failed ouster attempt underscores ongoing tensions within the GOP and challenges in maintaining party unity.
