"Second GOP Lawmaker Joins Effort to Oust Speaker Mike Johnson Amid Backlash"

Rep. Thomas Massie, a member of the House Rules Committee, has announced his support for a resolution to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from his position, citing concerns over Johnson's handling of foreign aid for Ukraine, government funding, and a controversial spying tool. Johnson has stated that he will not resign and is focused on doing his job, but the GOP majority is at risk if two more Republicans defect. Some Democrats have indicated they would vote to save Johnson to prevent chaos in the House. The conservative rebellion comes as Johnson attempts to move stalled foreign aid for U.S. allies through the House, while far-right members demand a focus on border security.
