The majority of Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday saved far-right Speaker Mike Johnson from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene 's attempt to oust him after less than seven months in the leadership position. Johnson's election to the role in October—following the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy , who then left Congress early—was seen as a signal of the MAGA flank's hold on the Republican Party .
Marjorie Taylor Greene and the extreme MAGA Republicans are chaos agents. House Democrats are change agents. We will continue to govern in a reasonable, responsible, and results-oriented manner and to put people over politics all day and every day. Some of the 32 Democrats who supported ousting Johnson framed the vote as proof that—in the words of Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost —the 'GOP really can't govern' and the 'chaos caucus is on display.
