Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday said House Speaker Mike Johnson “betrayed” Republican voters after the House approved new aid to Ukraine, threatening to call a vote for his ouster if he doesn’t resign.
“Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated,” Greene said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
After months of resisting putting a foreign aid bill on the House floor, Johnson joined with Democrats on Saturday to advance a $95 billion foreign aid package, which contains $61 billion for Ukraine and regional partners. The legislation – which passed with the support of 210 Democrats and 101 Republicans – now heads to the Senate, which is expected to give final approval this week.
Should Greene and her supporters make good on their threat to force a vote on ousting him as speaker, Johnson will almost certainly need to rely on Democrats to bail him out.
The Georgia hardliner is one of at least three Republicans who have said they will support a move to oust Johnson — whose majority is so slim he cannot afford to lose any Republicans on a party-line vote.

Exactly. It’s. All. Of. Them.
MTG did a “soft” vacate prior to this recent vote. Why didn’t she formally call to vacate the chair beforehand?
MTG voted for McCarthy 15 times, she voted for Johnson on the 4th vote.
Controlled opposition much?
No difference? You want Trump in that whitehouse or not???
It’s all theater.
Trump is coming back, there is no stopping MAGA.
NCSWIC. Nothing!
By his latest cowering, I think he'd rather be a democrat.
VACATE! What the hell has Ukraine done for us lately? They are over there partying like hell in the night clubs realizing how stupid the United States Government is. $61 billion and next month will be our sons and daughters because those human trafficking degenerates don’t even want to fight. Only good to come out of it is more Azov Nazi will be killed. Good.
I agree with her that he’s a backstabbing snake but Republicans don’t have the votes to elect anyone else, and we’ll end up with Hakim Jeffreys, so NO!
The deep state will never let Trump back into the white house. No matter what they have to do, they will keep him out.
No reason for Hakeem to honor his pledge to rescue Mike Johnson.
Oh really? Does Donald Trump want Johnson to resign? How about Jim Jordan?
The “fix” is in. And apparently, MTG is in on it. She fooled a lot of the people for some of the time.
But there is a very real danger that getting rid of Johnson will result in Jeffries as speaker, and with that would come a ban on Trump becoming president as an insurrectionary, another nationwide AWB, a nationwide ban on voter id and a requirement for unrestricted mail-in balloting everywhere, even more insane spending, etc., etc.
I'm not a RINO, merely a political realist and as I see it the whole country is on the edge of a Dem one-party dictatorship. Everything done needs to be focused on getting the "Biden" regime out of office and holding the line on everything else as much as possible as long as it prevents the Grand Coolee Dam of Dem manure to flood over both houses of Congress. If that happens, we're done for.
Oh we have the votes. Democrats will gleefully vote to oust him, then nominate Jeffreys, which RINOS will be happy to vote for.
100% correct
Maybe Mike Johnson shouldn't have expelled George Santos from Congress. Would be nice to have his vote now.
I'd say 15% to 20% of Repubs are still on our side. Maybe.
“She’s ridiculous.”
Yeah. Doing the right thing always is ridiculous. 🙄
