"Marjorie Taylor Greene's Motion to Remove Speaker Johnson"

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, signaling a growing revolt from the right within the House Republican Conference due to anger over the government funding bill. The motion, if recognized, must be considered within two legislative days, but Greene stated she wouldn't call it up on Friday. This move represents a significant challenge to Johnson's leadership and reflects escalating inter-party divisions, as he has had to rely on Democratic votes for key legislation, leading to bipartisan compromise that conservative hardliners reject. Greene's colleagues are reportedly trying to dissuade her from bringing the motion, warning of potential chaos and the unintended consequence of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries becoming speaker.
