Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will let her fellow House Republicans hear from their constituents before deciding whether to move forward with a vote to remove Speaker Mike Johnson.

Greene made the remarks after the House passed four bills in a Saturday session.

Three of the bills were for aid to Taiwan, Ukraine and Israel and the fourth approved a potential TikTok ban if its parent company, China’s ByteDance, does not sell it.

Greene listed several reasons why she believes Johnson should not be speaker, but she also said she wants to be “responsible” and not call for Johnson’s resignation before garnering enough support.

“I do not support Mike Johnson, he’s already a lame duck,” Greene told reporters.

Greene filed a motion for a vote to force Johnson to vacate the Speaker position in March, but no further action has been taken since then.
