During a recent interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed her dissatisfaction with the leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson, attributing the lack of a commanding majority of seats in the House of Representatives for Republicans to his leadership. Greene suggested that Americans had voted for President-elect Donald Trump's agenda, rather than the actions taken by the House GOP.
Greene hinted at the possibility of supporting a challenger to Johnson, a move that could have significant implications in the upcoming January floor vote where Johnson cannot afford to lose more than a few votes.
Citing Trump's lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the popular vote and his clear electoral vote victory, Greene emphasized that this support did not translate into success for House races as it should have. She expressed disappointment that the Republicans did not secure a larger majority in the House, considering the strong backing for the 'MAGA agenda' among the American people.
According to Greene, the majority of Republicans did not focus on the agenda that resonated with voters, leading to the current situation where a super majority was not achieved. She criticized the performance of the current Congress, suggesting that it did not align with the priorities of the electorate.
