The House overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to remove Mike Johnson as Speaker. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has been threatening to do this, declaring the office of Speaker to be vacant. The reaction, Greene read a long list of transgressions. She said Johnson had committed his speaker, calling him pathetic, weak and unacceptable. Johnson regularly chooses to ally himself with Democrats. Majority Leader Steve Scalise quickly moved into table Greene's effort, essentially stopping it from going forward. Over the past several days, Mike Johnson has said he just has to do his job every day. It doesn't matter what political party you're in, you have to look at this. If you look at this objectively, you know, you know deep down that this is wrong. Democrats have backed Johnson, saying it's time to turn the page on GOP turmoil. Ed Donahue, Washington.
