GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Wednesday she will trigger a motion to vacate against House Speaker Mike Johnson next week to force members to put their position on the record – a move that comes after Democrats have said they will vote to kill the effort and ensure Johnson doesn’t lose his job.
“I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they may and so next week, I am going to be calling this motion to vacate. Absolutely calling it,” she said at a news conference. “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, having supported a Republican speaker — a ‘Christian conservative’ — I think that’ll play well. I’m excited about it,” she added.
If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed,” House Democratic leaders said in a statement on Tuesday. Greene railed against Johnson on Wednesday for roughly 10 minutes, taking issue with his support for Ukraine aid and focusing on the recent announcement that House Democrats would vote to kill her effort to oust him. “Now we have Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats coming out, embracing Mike Johnson with a warm hug and a big, wet, sloppy kiss,” she said.
