House Speaker Mike Johnson is at risk of being ousted. Hard-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene of Georgia filed a “motion to vacate” Friday in the middle of a House vote on a $1.2 trillion package to keep government open. It’s the same political dynamic that removed the last Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy, just five months ago.

No speaker had been removed this way until McCarthy’s dramatic ouster last fall, a swift, stunning and chaotic episode that essentially shuttered the House chamber for weeks as Republicans searched for a new speaker. Johnson, who has refused to put a $95 billion Senate-passed national security package with Ukraine funds to a House vote, has nevertheless promised to fund Ukraine as the a next priority.
Still, many Republicans in Congress were embarrassed by McCarthy’s removal as speaker, which exposed deep party divisions and infighting that left their new majority, in office since January, unable to fully function on priorities.
