House Speaker Mike Johnson is getting his first reviews from conservatives in his conference for his new security aid plan: The process is too closed, the specifics give too much to Democrats and, according to a couple of members, maybe it’s just time for him to go.
Rep. Thomas Massie welcomed Johnson’s plan by joining Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in calling for Johnson to resign or face a motion to vacate. If Johnson doesn’t step aside, Massie said Tuesday, “It’s going to throw our conference into turmoil.”
“The motion will get called, and then he’s gonna lose more votes than Kevin McCarthy,” he said after announcing his plan to the Republican conference Tuesday morning.
