The Hitchhiker’s Guide to what happens if Greene tries to oust Speaker Johnson
Fox News
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had threaten to call a vote to remove Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House, but the representative from Georgia has yet to make her move.
Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
It is believed that Greene would likely lose in her effort to dump Johnson. Some Republicans support removing Johnson. But Democrats might back him up – especially after avoiding multiple government shutdown scenarios and advancing the foreign aid package.
Democrats could vote in favor of retaining Johnson – or simply "take a walk." If Democrats don’t vote, that helps Johnson, changing the math in the House necessary to remove the Speaker.
