“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) promises she’ll force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson this week. This morning, we have fresh insight about what might happen when the vote is called,” Politico reports.
“We’ve been saying for a while now that if House Democrats save Johnson by providing the votes needed to kill the conservative coup attempt, his position will be untenable — that eventually more Republicans would join the fray, making it impossible for him to continue leading.
”“But we’re starting to question that prediction given the scale of the pushback we’re seeing to Greene. While conservative hard-liners remain unhappy with Johnson — and might indeed vote against a motion to table (aka kill) the ouster — they’re equally unhappy with Greene’s antics and thus might give him a pass.”
