Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes for vote to remove US House Speaker Mike Johnson

ai generated text

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced plans to call a vote next week on removing House Speaker Mike Johnson, a fellow Republican. Greene has been critical of Johnson's leadership and believes he is not capable of doing the job effectively. She argues that a recorded vote is necessary for transparency and accountability, and is eager to see Democrats support a Republican speaker in order to highlight their own party's divisions. Greene's move risks throwing the House into chaos and potentially threatening Republican control. Despite public entreaties from top Republicans, Greene remains committed to pushing ahead with her plan.

  1. US
    Democratic Party
    1. We will vote to table Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate the chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed.
    2. At this moment, upon completion of our national security work, the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of pro-Putin Republican obstruction.
  2. US
    Mike Johnson
    Republican Party
    1. Congress was closed for three weeks. No one can afford for that to happen.
    2. I have to do my job. We have to do what we believe to be the right thing.
    3. This motion is wrong for the Republican conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country.
  3. US
    Marjorie Taylor Greene
    Republican Party
    1. What are we giving Republican voters to vote for?
    2. I think the American people need to see a recorded vote.
    3. We need leaders in the House of Representatives that are going to get this done.
    4. Mike Johnson is not capable of that job.
    5. And so next week, I am going to be calling this motion to vacate – absolutely calling it. I can't wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again.
    6. Once [Johnson] became speaker, he has become a man that none of us recognize.
