House Democrats Block Greene's Bid to Overthrow Speaker Johnson.

House Democrats and Republicans joined forces to block an attempt by hardliner Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene to overthrow Speaker Mike Johnson. This rare cross-party alliance was formed to reward Johnson for his help in securing $61 billion in aid for Ukraine. However, Johnson's reliance on partisan opponents to maintain his leadership position leaves his political strength uncertain. While Democratic leaders have not committed to indefinitely supporting him, hardliners can force a new ouster vote at any time. The Republican House majority is so slim that if Democrats withdraw their support, just three Republican lawmakers can remove Johnson. [Extracted from the article]
