The overwhelming majorities of both parties voted on Wednesday to protect Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from a conservative coup in the House, dealing a major blow to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who pushed forward with her effort to oust the GOP leader from the top job earlier that afternoon.
The chamber voted 359-43-7 on a motion to table Greene’s motion to vacate, preventing the removal resolution from hitting the floor for a vote. The final vote was widely expected amid bipartisan opposition to the ouster gambit.
But the vote could portend trouble for Johnson, who remains safe in his job for the time being, but who is now in the precarious position of being a GOP Speaker propped up by Democrats – which could earn him the ire of conservatives.
Forty-three members voted against blocking Greene’s measure to remove Johnson from his post – including 11 Republicans and 32 Democrats.
