The Cray-Cray. Marjorie Taylor Greene was asked by Steve Bannon if she will bring a Motion to Vacate on Mike Johnson if the budget bill passes. She says she was evaluating it on a “minute by minute” basis. Apparently the minute’s up.
@RepMTG has filed a motion to vacate @SpeakerJohnson, according to multiple sources on the House floor. This bit of chaos might divert attention from Trump’s Monday financial woes. This is how Kevin McCarthy was fired. Greene needs support to make it happen right away, otherwise it's in limbo. And, shocker, after today the House has a 2 week vacation. Also, this is what happened to Boehner. Mark Meadows introduced an MTV before an August recess. Boehner & his allies said they would defeat it when the House came back. Instead, Boehner resigned.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has officially filed a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson over her concerns about an omnibus spending bill that is expected to fund the federal government for the remainder of the year. Greene's decision to file the motion will now force the full House of Representatives to vote whether to remove Mike Johnson from the Speakership within two business days.
Greene went on Steve Bannon's podcast this morning to complain about Johnson's weak leadership, saying that he completely surrendered in negotiations to Chuck Schumer. When asked by Steve Bannon if she intended to bring a motion to vacate today she said, "Stay tuned."
