"Republican Congressman Johnson Condemns Greene's Ousting Attempt as 'Distraction'"

Republican Congressman Mike Lawler rebuked Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, calling it "idiotic" and stating that it undermines the House Republican majority. Greene introduced a motion to vacate Johnson as speaker after criticizing a $1.2 trillion spending bill, which was ultimately approved with the help of House Democrats. The House Republicans will soon hold a one-vote majority, and tensions within the party are rising as some members express concerns about infighting and its impact on key issues such as Ukraine aid.
