Johnson was appointed as the speaker of the House in March when she moved to remove him from his place.
According to House Republicans, Johnson has capitulated to the Democrats and Joe Biden.
In April, Johnson proposed a$ 95 billion foreign aid package. The package sent roughly$ 26 billion to Israel,$ 61 billion to Ukraine, and$ 8 billion to supporting allies in the Indo- Pacific.
In an effort to stop Johnson from progress an plan that Republican members of the House opposed, Greene and Massie met with him on Monday for about three hours.
After the conference, Greene claimed to have had a “very long conversation with Speaker Johnson” with Massie and that they would meet again the following day.  , Greene added that she had been “patient” and “diligent” and that nothing “has changed”.

Johnson said he would like to “advance much more” of the” conventional policy on a daily basis,” adding that Republicans were working with the” smallest majority in U.S. story,” despite Massie and Greene’s frustration following the meeting.
Johnson responded to a reporter’s question on Tuesday regarding the accountability measures Greene had suggested, saying that it was” not a negotiation” and that he would “process these ideas” just like other members ‘ ideas.
” Appearance, um, we’re gonna method these tips just like we do all thoughts and all insight from people, and — this is not a negotiation”, Johnson explained. ” I’m doing my work, and part of the job is taking ideas and intelligent thoughts from people, and that’s what we’re doing”.
