Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has just announced that she will move ahead with her motion to oust Speaker Johnson, saying she’ll bring it to the floor for a vote next week.

Here’s the news:

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Wednesday that she will move ahead with her attempt to oust Speaker Mike Johnson from the House’s top job — though her plan seems doomed to fail.

The Georgia Republican, who first introduced a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair in March, said in a news conference outside the U.S. Capitol that she will call up her motion to the House floor for a vote next week.

MTG obviously saw the statement from Democrats yesterday saying they would protect Speaker Johnson. With this announcement I think she’s calling their bluff to see if they’ll actually do it because, why should they? It’s in their interest for Republicans to melt down into another frenzy over who is going to control the House, especially in an election year. I guess we’ll find out next week if they are lying or if Johnson really did make a deal with them.
