House Speaker Johnson Firm Amid Motion to Vacate, Criticisms from Marjorie Taylor Greene

In a charged political atmosphere, Speaker Mike Johnson of the House of Representatives faced a blunt challenge today from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. At a House Republican leadership press briefing, Johnson responded firmly to Greene's motion to vacate his position, signaling a contentious battle within the party.

The motion to oust Speaker Johnson gained traction when Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie announced his support for Greene's resolution. Massie, joining forces with Greene, called for Johnson's resignation and co-sponsored the motion aimed at removing Johnson from the speakership. . .
