The House voted quickly Wednesday evening to kill Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resolution to oust Speaker Mike Johnson from his leadership post. The vote on a motion to table succeeded with the help of Democrats, sparing Johnson from losing the speakership. The vote was 359 to 43.
Thomas Massie of Kentucky – met over several days earlier this week, where Greene outlined her concerns with Johnson’s leadership and her priorities. The House was on the verge of recessing for the week when Greene pulled up her motion to vacate the chair, which started a two-legislative-day clock for GOP leaders to hold a vote on her measure. House Republicans were completely caught off guard by Greene’s decision to trigger her motion, multiple Republican sources told CNN.
