The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to table Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s petition to remove Mike Johnson on Wednesday.
Greene started the clock to vote on removing Johnson on Wednesday afternoon, giving the House two days to vote on her motion-to-vacate. But it was tabled in a bipartisan 359-43 vote, according to C-SPAN. The vote against tabling it was supported by 11 Republicans, including Greene.
The vote comes after Greene met with Johnson and her fellow supporter Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie for two days this week. It is the second effort to remove a House speaker in seven months, after the House removed former Speaker Kevin McCarthy late last year.
