After a two-hour meeting on Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA ) and Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA ) and Thomas Massie (R-KY ) continued to demand Johnson’s resignation and end his coalition government with Democrats.
After the conference, Greene claimed that she and Massie “had a very long discourse with Speaker Johnson.” Based on the conversation, we’ll next talk to each other again tomorrow, and I’ll had more details after that.

Johnson is a affected speaker of the next Congress, according to the two traditional lawmakers. They called for him , to step down so Republicans can start moving forward, arguing Johnson’s illegal lame duck standing did hurt Republican as they fundraise and plan for November’s votes.
” I have been individual, I have been attentive. I have been stable. And I’ve been focused on the specifics”, Greene said. ” And none of that has changed”.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY ) made the remarks on CBS about controlling the House floor agenda, which many conservatives concur with.
Because we continue to give up the majority of the vote necessary to pass laws, he said,” We effectively have been governing as if we were in the minority.” ” Those are just the information”.

Republicans claim that Johnson has consistently capitulated to Democrats, giving them the power to form a partnership state with Democrats while securing the border and advancing President Joe Biden’s agenda.
In what Massie has called Johnson’s” three betrayals,” he ended the process of passing each of the 12 personal appropriations bills and passed a two-part omnibus bill with increasingly Democratic support, rammed through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’s reauthorization after casting the decisive vote to repeal the spying necessity, carried out a scheme to access tens of billions of Ukrainian aid despite promising not to do so without addressing the border crisis,
WATCH , — , Lauren Boebert:” It Makes No Difference” If Mike Johnson or Hakeem Jeffries Is Speaker:
Johnson said after the meeting that he “understand]s ] the frustration.  , I share it. Here, I would really like to see a lot more of our conservative policy being used every day. However, we actually have the smallest majority in American history and only have a one-vote margin.
He said his goal is to “keep advancing the ball, to get the next first down, to put points on the board and then, and get to November”.
Although Greene and Massie did not schedule their Tuesday morning meeting, they could still vote on her motion at any time.
The House would then have two more days to vote, although Greene might make her move as soon as Johnson decides to put a motion on the table.
By putting a motion to rescind, Jeffries and his Democratic leadership have pledged to save Johnson.
