"Ocasio-Cortez Warns Democrats: Support Comes with Conditions"

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns that Democratic support for House Speaker Mike Johnson could come with a price, as he faces a push to oust him from his own party.

Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to vacate against Johnson, aiming to remove him as speaker after he worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene Threatens Ouster of House Speaker Mike Johnson"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to vacate against House Speaker Mike Johnson for working with Democrats to fund the government, warning that it's time for Republicans to find a new speaker who will stand with the party's majority. The resolution is not privileged, meaning the House will not have to vote on it until Greene decides so, and it's uncertain if there is appetite among Republicans to eject another speaker after the historic ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. If Johnson were to be removed, there is no clear successor, and the decision to save him from the motion to vacate wouldn't happen automatically, with some House Democrats expressing willingness to join Greene in ousting Johnson.
