Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Tuesday that she would be endorsing Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) for House Speaker, a notable win for the Louisiana Republican given Greene has at times found herself at odds with him.
“Here’s what I’m asking my colleagues to do: Let’s put aside our pride, let’s put aside our egos and let’s put aside the infighting,” Greene said in a video posted on the social platform X. “It’s time to come together as Republicans, and it’s time to do whatever it takes to make sure that we deliver the mandate that the American people told us to do.”
“And that’s why I’m excited tomorrow. I cannot wait to get started. I’ll be voting for Mike Johnson,” she continued. “I will be looking ahead in complete hopefulness and working as hard as possible.”
Lawmakers are convening at noon to elect a Speaker, with Johnson hardly able to afford any defections as he looks to keep his gavel.

Whether they're infighting or not, they're nothing but a bunch of gutless wonders, and have been for years.
I did notice the report of Hell freezing over.
“25 degrees. Light snow showers.”
Hell, Michigan. Livingston County.
“What is the advantage for President Trump in having this dogfight going on in the GOP House?”
There isn’t any.
Johnson is his best chance to make the dogfight short.
Install Trump is the ONLY job at hand. If we have to elect Mitch McConnell as Speaker to get it done, we do it.
Republicans in the House are going to have to stick together to get anything done. We have a razor thin majority with trump’s picks and the California “cured” ballots. We weren’t effective when we had much larger majorities. The ‘rats stick together no matter what. If a bill is bloated, perverse, or antiamerican they all march in lockstep to their leaders. Trump has given us a chance to reverse some of these abominations! We must take advantage of it now!
