Marjorie Taylor Greene Insists 'Motion To Vacate' Mike Johnson's Speakership Is Inevitable: 'Do The Right Thing To Resign And Allow Us To Move Forward'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has reiterated her determination to proceed with her “motion to vacate” the Speakership of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), regardless of his response.

What Happened: Greene, in an interview with Fox News on Sunday, emphasized that her motion to vacate Johnson’s Speakership is inevitable, irrespective of his actions. She also refrained from discussing any alternative plans if Johnson is removed.

“Mike Johnson’s Speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process, and if he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated,” Greene stated.

Greene’s motion to vacate Johnson’s Speakership was introduced last month but has not yet been brought to the House floor for a vote. "It's coming regardless of what Mike Johnson decides to do. And we have three more Republicans joining us for a special election coming up very soon. So, people need to know this can happen," Greene added.

Why It Matters: Greene’s demand for Johnson’s resignation came after the House approved a $95 billion foreign aid package, including $61 billion for Ukraine and regional partners. Johnson, who had previously resisted putting a foreign aid bill on the House floor, joined Democrats to advance the bill, which is now headed to the Senate for final approval.

Johnson’s support for stand-alone aid to Ukraine, despite his previous stance on linking aid for Kyiv with U.S. border security measures, further escalated tensions.

Johnson has dismissed the ouster threat as “absurd” and has affirmed that he will not resign. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) have publicly supported Greene’s motion.

Greene’s stance on Ukraine has drawn criticism from fellow Republicans. Former Congressman Ken Buck (R-Colo.) criticized her for echoing Russian narratives, while House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) opposed her motion to remove Johnson, stating that changing Speakers is not the solution.
