I’m expecting Ds to vote against any motion to vacate. Even without a ‘deal’ with Johnson. This wacko stuff needs to end.
“Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday he will co-sponsor a resolution to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from the House’s top job.”
“The Kentucky Republican said he asked Johnson to resign from the Speakership during the closed-door conference meeting, which the Louisiana Republican declined to do.”

Key part is for Johnson not to cut any deal with Ds. Lets Ds vote against the motion based on sanity.
“Both Greene and Massie have declined to say when they might trigger a vote on the motion-to-vacate resolution, but the support from the pair of conservatives means Johnson will more than likely need Democratic support to remain Speaker.
Republicans can only afford to lose two GOP lawmakers on any party-line votes, as the House breakdown currently stands, an edge that will decrease to one after Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) resigns at the end of the week.
Some Democrats in recent weeks have said they would protect Johnson if he puts Ukraine aid on the floor.”
These Moscow Mules in their eagerness to prove some obscure point, are paving the road to defeat in 2024 with gold bricks, as the public continues to see them as children unable to govern.
