Two hardline conservatives leading the charge to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson have backed off from an attempt to push him out this week as the duo face pressure by former President Donald Trump to drop their threat.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., leaves a meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., whom she has vowed to remove from his leadership post, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
She said whether she brings up the motion “is up to Mike Johnson,” and said she’s awaiting a response from him, “hopefully soon,” to a list of her demands. Ms. Greene and Mr. Massie want Mr. Johnson to pledge to keep legislation off the floor unless it is backed by a majority of Republicans. The pair are also calling for him to ensure that spending legislation for fiscal 2025 cuts funding for the Justice Department’s special counsel investigations into Mr. Trump and includes a 1% reduction in overall federal funding.
Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona, a third Republican lawmaker who said he would vote with Ms. Greene and Mr. Massie, was not in the meeting with Mr. Johnson.
