'Psy-op': Conservatives skeptical of House Dems' motives in protecting Johnson
Fox News
Several conservative House lawmakers told Fox News Digital that they believe Democratic leaders are trying to push Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene into triggering a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.
House Democratic leaders released a joint statement on Tuesday declaring they would block a House-wide vote on ousting Johnson by voting to table the measure, known as a motion to vacate the chair. It's a procedural hurdle that takes place before the main vote which, if successful, would block the House from voting on the motion itself.
