Greene, Speaker Johnson to meet amid ouster threat

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will meet with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday afternoon as the Georgia Republican vows to force a vote on the GOP leader’s ouster, two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill.
The meeting is set to take place at 3:30 p.m. EDT, one source said. Greene requested the conversation, the source noted.
Greene announced last week that she would move to force a vote on Johnson’s ouster this week, after dangling her motion to vacate resolution over his head for more than a month.
Her effort, however, is all but sure to fail. A growing number of conservative Republicans have said they do not support the motion to vacate, despite their frustrations with the Speaker’s recent legislative moves, and top House Democrats said they will vote to table the removal resolution if Greene calls it to the floor for a vote, two dynamics that are eroding support for Greene’s gambit.
Only two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) — have publicly expressed support for Greene’s motion to vacate.
