"Greene's Motion to Oust Speaker Johnson Sparks Political Turmoil"

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson in the midst of a House vote on a $1.2 trillion government funding package, following a similar move that removed the previous Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy. Johnson's refusal to put a Senate-passed national security package with Ukraine funds to a House vote has sparked the threat of his removal, with Greene warning that she would try to remove him if he pushes ahead with the package to support Ukraine. The potential ouster of Johnson, who has a weak grasp on his Republicans in the House, could leave the party vulnerable and potentially result in a Democrat taking over as speaker.
