Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday morning triggered her motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as the top leader of the House, announcing she wants an imminent floor vote on the speaker’s future.
Her chances of success, however, are in doubt because House Democratic leadership has pledged to rescue Johnson from the congresswoman’s “motion to vacate” by attempting to kill the measure before it can gain any traction. Nonetheless, Republicans hold only a two-vote House majority, and anything could happen in the volatile chamber where support from GOP hard-liners is always in question.
