"Ocasio-Cortez Warns Democrats: Support Comes with Conditions"
TL;DR
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns that Democratic support for House Speaker Mike Johnson could come with a price, as he faces a push to oust him from his own party. Ocasio-Cortez is "not inclined" to vote to keep Johnson in his leadership post and expects Democrats to "work as a team." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to vacate against Johnson, aiming to remove him as speaker after he worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown. Ocasio-Cortez made it clear that if Democrats step in to help Johnson, they will expect something in return.
