Mr Johnson is expected to survive the vote because Democrats in the House of Representatives have pledged to support him after he defied his party and agreed to put the Ukraine bill up for a vote after months of delay. But Ms Greene’s intervention will expose the huge fracture within the Republican party between hardline members and those who are more willing to strike compromises with Democrats.

Ms Greene, a representative from Georgia, criticised her Republican peers for participating in what she described on Wednesday as the “uniparty” of joint governance with the Democrats.
