House rejects Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson
SUMMARY: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson was overwhelmingly defeated by a bipartisan vote of 359-43. Despite her criticism of Johnson's leadership, including his handling of foreign aid for Ukraine, Johnson retained his position with significant Democratic support. Donald Trump expressed his love for Greene while advising against her motion at this time. The vote reflects deep divisions within the GOP and highlights the potential challenges for Republican leadership. Greene's actions may have political repercussions for her, as some party members voiced their discontent with her tactics.
