Frustrated with today’s vote on Ukraine aid, Marjorie Taylor Greene has posted a threat to Mike Johnson. She will fire him by securing a majority for her motion to vacate the chair.
And — this is golden — out of the 218 votes needed to remove the speaker, she has already collected…
@randahl They have such a slim majority, three votes may be all she needs.
That is, unless Johnson reached out on Jeffries offer to help fend off the challenge. Then there may be a few Dems that vote for him. The instability in the house is not good for anyone.
@Extra_Special_Carbon My guess is, Johnson’s recent flip on Ukraine aid happened after reaching an agreement with democrats on not helping MTG oust him.
@Extra_Special_Carbon@randahl
Jeffries held a pretty long press conference yesterday where the first half of the questions were repeated instances of "will the Ds support Johnson if he comes through on the Ukraine vote?" with him saying "we will focus on the Ukraine vote first, and then on making the House functional".
