House Speaker Mike Johnson's job could be saved by Democrats if Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene triggers a vote for his ouster.
House Democratic leaders are vowing to shield House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., if Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., forces a vote on her motion to oust him from power.'From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have put people over politics and found bipartisan common ground with traditional Republicans in order to deliver real results. At the same time, House Democrats have aggressively pushed back against MAGA extremism.
However, with the razor-thin majority Johnson oversees, it quickly became clear that Democratic support would likely be needed to keep him in power. That does not necessarily mean Democrats have to vote against ousting Johnson – if Greene noticed her resolution as 'privileged,' meaning the House would need to take it up within two days, it would first trigger a vote to table her measure, effectively killing it.
