Democratic House leadership vote in support of House Speaker Mike Johnson and table Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to oust the speaker.
So far, it’s been all talk and no action from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and her threat to call a vote to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. A phalanx of reporters peppered Greene with questions as she left the U.S. Capitol Tuesday about why she didn’t trigger her resolution to dump Johnson or if she had a sense of what would prompt her to act against the Speaker. 'Have you made a decision yet on when to move ahead?' hollered one scribe.
That could be the same situation here. And perhaps a point in Johnson’s favor is that they eventually named a House office building after Cannon. So, there’s that. Prior to Democratic leaders announcing their support for Johnson, it was thought a few Democrats could simply vote to guard Johnson. The other option was that they might 'take a walk.' If Democrats don’t vote, that assists Johnson, changing the math in the House necessary to remove the Speaker.
We will continue to extend our hand to Mike Johnson in bipartisanship and hope that they will continue to learn a lesson about putting the American people's voices back on the floor of the House,' replied Clark. 'We are saying no to the extremism and the chaos that Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to peddle.' But let’s presume that the House fails to protect Johnson. If the motion to table fails, the House then immediately votes, up or down, on whether to remove Johnson.
