Congresswoman Greene’s Bid to Oust Speaker Johnson Fails, but 11 House Republicans Vote in Favor of Debate

This week, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie held a press conference to announce their bid to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from his position. Despite their efforts, the motion to vacate Johnson’s seat failed in the House by a margin of 359-43. However, 11 House Republicans voted in favor of allowing a debate on the matter, most of whom were Democrats who opposed Johnson’s politics.

The surprise move by Greene was met with mixed reactions from the Republican party. While former President Donald Trump expressed his support for Greene and her resolution, he believed that House Republicans weren’t in a strong enough position to vote on the ouster bid. Ultimately, the motion was anticipated to fail due to Democratic leaders voting to table it, resulting in 163 Democrats doing so as well.

Despite this setback, it remains uncertain if Greene will continue to push for votes to oust Johnson. The 11 House Republicans who voted in favor of advancing the effort include Andy Biggs, Eric Burlison, Eli Crane, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Thomas Massie, Alex Mooney, Barry Moore, Chip Roy, and Victoria Spartz.
