Mike Johnson says MTG's attempt to oust him as speaker was 'misguided effort'

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., joined "Fox & Friends" to react to the failed attempt to oust him as Speaker following votes on foreign aid.

"We advance our conservative policies and principles as far as we can here, every single day up the field, in spite of the fact that we have the smallest majority in U.S. history. We can't get 100% of what we want. And sometimes a handful of my colleagues demand that, and it's just not possible right now. But we're fighting. We're going to get this job done. And I think that's leadership in very difficult times." Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.

Taylor Greene, R-Ga., had been threatening to force a vote on taking Johnson's gavel since late March in protest of his handling of government funding and foreign aid.

Greene appeared to catch most congressional watchers by surprise when she moved to force a vote on her motion to vacate the chair, the procedural move that would allow for the vote. She noticed her resolution as "privileged," meaning House leaders had two legislative days to take it up.
