Speaker Mike Johnson has faced backlash from some hardline members of the Republican Party after finally advancing a foreign aid bill on the House floor this week. Three House GOP members, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, and Paul Gossar, have expressed support for a motion to vacate the speaker, with Greene potentially moving to oust Johnson as early as Saturday.
It is important to note that House Republicans hold a narrow majority, meaning Johnson would require Democratic support to retain his speakership. Despite the mounting pressure, Johnson has remained steadfast in his decision not to resign.
