Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the rump leader of the House, has decided to sit on her threat to try to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson—for the time being. She is not, however, relenting on her demands, while Johnson maintains he is not negotiating with her.
So far, Greene doesn’t have much support from the GOP’s hard-liners on kicking out Johnson, but they are tacitly on board with her in going scorched earth—again—on government funding this fall.
“We will see. … Right now, the ball is in Johnson’s court,” Greene told reporters after her second meeting with him Tuesday, indicating that she wouldn’t follow through on her promise to force the vote on his ouster this week.
