    Marjorie Taylor Greene Says she will force vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson next week

    Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's moving ahead with effort to oust Speaker  Johnson - ABC News

    In a bold move, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced today that she will call for a vote next week to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson. The decision has put her colleagues in a difficult position, as Democratic leaders have already pledged to save the Republican speaker’s job.

    • Greene accuses Johnson of betraying the GOP by going against conservative wishes on various issues, including government funding bills, Ukraine aid, and reauthorizing the FISA surveillance program.
    • Democrats have pledged to vote to kill Greene’s motion to vacate. And save the GOP speaker’s job after he also pushed through a $95 billion package with aid for Ukraine.
    • Despite the measure appearing certain to fail, Greene insists on a recorded vote to hold members accountable.
    • Johnson’s other conservative critics have opposed Greene’s push to depose him. And he released a statement calling her motion wrong for the Republican Conference and also the country.

    At a news conference outside the Capitol, Greene, wearing a red “MAGA” hat, accused Johnson of betraying the GOP and going against conservative wishes on several key issues. Also including government funding bills, Ukraine aid, and reauthorizing the FISA surveillance program without new warrant requirements.

    “So next week, I am going to be calling this motion to vacate. Absolutely calling it,” Greene declared. “I can’t wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker. And have to go home to their primaries and run for Congress again.”Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts 'MUGA' Speaker Johnson for funding 'every  single' war

    Against

    This renewed threat against Johnson comes just one day after Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his Democratic leadership team announced. That they would protect Johnson by voting to “table” or kill Greene’s motion to oust the speaker. Their goal is to promote bipartisan cooperation and also return to normalcy.

    Greene has been warning Johnson for months not to pass emergency foreign aid for Ukraine while thousands of migrants cross the southern border. However, last month, Johnson negotiated with the White House and pushed through a $95 billion national security package. That included aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, along with a potential ban on the social media app TikTok.

    Despite Greene’s determination, even some of Johnson’s other conservative critics. Have opposed her push to depose him, and her resolution has only two co-sponsors.

    In response to Greene’s announcement, Johnson released a terse statement: “This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference. wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country.”

    The showdown next week promises to be a pivotal moment for the House. As members weigh their loyalties and the future direction of the GOP.
