Latest: Marjorie Taylor Greene softens stance on Speaker Johnson’s removal following second meeting

Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for her controversial statements and actions, has been making headlines once again. This time, she has been in talks with Speaker Mike Johnson regarding her threats to force a House vote to oust him.

After two meetings with Speaker Johnson, Ms. Greene hinted that the outcome is now in his hands. The GOP duo, including Representative Thomas Massie, are pushing for Johnson to block future Ukraine aid and defund Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probes into Donald Trump. However, these requests are largely symbolic as they would likely be blocked by the US Senate and President Joe Biden.

Before the second meeting, Ms. Greene accused the speaker of working too closely with Democrats, suggesting they were ready to save his speakership by delivering the necessary votes.

Interestingly, former President Donald Trump reportedly spoke with Ms. Greene over the weekend, urging her to step down from her fight to oust Speaker Johnson. Despite being in close contact with Trump, Ms. Greene has not disclosed the details of their conversations.

The ongoing feud between Ms. Greene and Speaker Johnson has captivated the attention of many, with Democrats brushing off Ms. Greene’s attempts to remove Johnson from his position. The situation remains fluid, with Ms. Greene’s next steps uncertain as she navigates the complex world of Washington politics.
