House quickly rejects motion to oust Speaker Johnson
Hardline Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has tried and failed to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson. Her long-shot effort was swiftly and resoundingly rejected Wednesday by Democrats and Republicans tired of the political chaos. One of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters in Congress, Greene stood on the House floor and read a long list of “transgressions” she said Johnson had committed as speaker. Colleagues booed in protest, and Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise quickly countered by calling for a vote to table Greene's motion. An overwhelming majority, 359-43, kept Johnson in his job, for now. Johnson said he hoped it “is the end of the personality politics.”
