Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson

Washington — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene proceeded with her threat to try to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday, calling for a vote on a motion to vacate the speaker from the House floor. 

“The form of the resolution is as follows: declaring the office of the speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant,” the Georgia *********** said. “This is the uniparty for the ********* people watching.” 

The move marked a reversal from a day earlier, when Greene appeared to retreat from her threat to trigger a vote to remove Johnson. 

“Right now the ball is in Mike Johnson’s court,” Greene had said after meeting with the speaker on Tuesday.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
