GOP rebels back off threat to force Johnson ouster vote this week as they seek deal
Fox News
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are in talks with Speaker Johnson as they threaten to force a vote on his ouster.
The pair met with Johnson for roughly an hour and a half Tuesday after a two-hour meeting on Monday afternoon, where they outlined a list of demands for the speaker that included a pledge to not pass any more aid to Ukraine and de-funding Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into former President Trump.

They're also seeking assurances that Johnson would not bring any bills to the floor without support from a majority of the House GOP conference, and commitments to cutting federal spending if a deal to fund the government in fiscal year 2025 is not reached by Sept. 30.
