MTG’s Attempt to Remove Speaker Johnson Immediately Crashes and Burns
On Wednesday Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pulled the trigger on her motion to oust Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) from his role as House Speaker.
Johnson’s allies in House GOP leadership, however, moved immediately to table her effort.
The motion to table—which effectively shuts down Greene’s ouster attempt—passed 359 to 43. Seven lawmakers voted present. 10 Republicans joined Greene in her effort to remove Johnson, including hard-right Johnson detractors Reps. Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Warren Davidson (R-OH).
