Uniparty Wins: Speaker Johnson Survives Replacement Threat by Marjorie Taylor Greene
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) on Wednesday moved to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.
MTG last month filed her motion to vacate against Speaker Johnson. She brought the resolution to the House floor on Wednesday.
The House speedily squashed MTG’s motion. Lawmakers voted to table the resolution: 359 “yeas” to 43 “nays” and 7 “presents”
