Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly seeking support for a motion to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson before her resignation takes effect. The effort would require support from nine Republicans to force a vote.
WSB-TV, citing a report by MS NOW, says Greene has been approaching members to gauge support for removing Johnson as speaker. Sources familiar with her effort said she is trying to get nine Republicans on board, the number the article says is needed to force a vote under House rules.
Greene has previously criticized Johnson and Republican leadership, including saying that her bills sit without floor votes and that Republican women are sidelined. Johnson’s office had not immediately responded to MS NOW’s request for comment. Greene’s resignation is scheduled to take effect Jan. 5.
