Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she plans to meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson for the first time since she introduced a motion to vacate the speakership.
Greene and Johnson didn’t meet after they were supposed to talk last week, but they havesince the motion to vacate was filed. The Georgia Republican filed the motion to vacate prior to the House’s two-week recess, which ended on Tuesday. The meeting is planned before votes in the House on Wednesday, according to Greene.
Greene did not file the motion to vacate as a privileged resolution, meaning it does not require immediate action, and the congresswoman said she has yet to decide on what would force her to trigger a vote on the motion to vacate. How he handles votes could have an outsize effect on whether Greene carries through on her threat.
She also said she had spoken with former President Donald Trump about the motion to vacate but did not elaborate on what she discussed with him. “Well, I think it would prove me absolutely right,” Greene said. “That he’s the Democrats’ speaker of the House, not the Republicans’ elected speaker.”
