Abstract
- Two Republican hardliners, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, have announced their intention to force a vote on removing House Speaker Mike Johnson. However, Democratic leaders have pledged to support Johnson, effectively blocking the effort. Johnson's reliance on Democratic support puts him in a vulnerable position, as they can withdraw their support at any time. Greene and Massie criticized Johnson for working with Democrats on funding measures and foreign aid packages. It remains unclear how much support the rebellion has among Republicans, but conservative enthusiasm for ousting Johnson has been waning. [Extracted from the article]
