"House GOP's Leadership Crisis: Threats, Warnings, and Resignations"
TL;DR
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's threat to oust Speaker Mike Johnson over Ukraine aid could backfire, as it may prompt House Democrats to save Johnson in exchange for a vote on Ukraine aid. Greene's move gives Democrats leverage, as they could table any motion to oust Johnson if he brings Ukraine aid up for a vote. This could lead to the approval of billions in aid for Ukraine. The situation contrasts with a previous attempt to oust a GOP leader, and it remains to be seen how Johnson will approach the matter.
