MTG on Johnson
Once again, it feels like déjà vu as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene initiates the process of ousting sitting House Speaker Johnson by filing a Motion to Vacate. This echoes the same path that led to the removal of Speaker McCarthy. Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, MTG issued a warning, citing her dissatisfaction with the recently passed Funding Bill, which she believes favored President Biden and the Democrats over the GOP's interests in the House. However, she didn't specify a timeline for her next move, nor did she indicate whether she would compel her colleagues to bring the motion to a vote on the House floor, mirroring the strategy that led to Speaker Kevin McCarthy's departure. On the other hand, Speaker Johnson contends that the Spending Bill represents a significant victory for the GOP, as evidenced by its signing into law by President Biden, totaling 1.2 trillion dollars and averting a government shutdown.
