After months of publicly bashing House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene brought her motion to vacate the speakership to the floor. It promptly failed.

“Mike Johnson worked with Chuck Schumer and gave Joe Biden and the Democrats everything they wanted, no different from how a Speaker Hakeem Jeffries would have done,” Greene said on the House floor.

The House voted to kill the motion almost immediately after she brought it forward. It resoundingly failed, 359-43, with only 11 Republicans and 32 Democrats voting against the motion to table.
