Conservative anger towards House Speaker Mike Johnson has escalated following his involvement in passing a significant foreign aid package that included support for Ukraine. Despite facing backlash, Johnson has stood firm in his position, refusing to step down and cautioning that his removal could lead to turmoil within the House. In response to the threat of a vote to oust him, Johnson defended his leadership, stating, 'This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country.'
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia has been at the forefront of the movement to remove Johnson from his role as Speaker. Greene initially initiated the motion to oust Johnson back in March, citing dissatisfaction among conservatives regarding his approach to the government funding dispute.
