All eyes on Greene threat to oust Speaker Johnson

BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL AND MIKE LILLIS - 04/29/24 6:00 AM ET


Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) returns to Washington this week celebrating several recent policy victories but also facing a renewed threat to his gavel from a small but unpredictable group of conservative rebels infuriated by his leadership style.

Johnson received widespread praise from leaders in both parties this month after muscling two high-profile proposals through the House: an increase in aid for Ukraine and an extension of Washington’s warrantless spying powers. But his decision to champion those controversial policies — and to forge deals with President Biden and the Democrats to get them done — has sparked a new backlash from a handful of hard-liners vowing to topple him from power.

Leading the charge is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who introduced a motion-to-vacate resolution last month, after Johnson endorsed legislation to fund the government, and is now escalating her threat to force it to the floor. Two other conservatives, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), have endorsed her effort.

With no pressing must-pass legislation on the immediate schedule, that internal battle is set to take center stage on Capitol Hill — a bitter Republican-on-Republican fight coming at an inopportune time for GOP leaders, who are looking to unite the party ahead of the November elections.
