Democrats Save Republican House Speaker from Right-wing Challenge

In a twist of events, Democrats stepped in to prevent the ousting of Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson by a far-right lawmaker, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene’s attempt to remove Johnson over disagreements on party leadership and policies failed to gain enough support, even from within her own party.

While her move highlighted internal divisions among Republicans, Democrats and some Republicans rallied to support Johnson, seeing the challenge as disruptive ahead of the upcoming elections.

Despite Trump’s praise for Greene, the attempt to remove Johnson was ultimately unsuccessful, leaving Johnson grateful for the vote of confidence from his colleagues.
