Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for new speaker ahead of spending deal vote

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) became one of the first House Republicans on Friday to float the idea of replacing Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as the chamber prepares to vote on its final set of spending bills for the fiscal year.

“We need a Speaker of the House who will fight to secure America’s border at all cost! Not one that passes a trillion dollar Democrat wish list that continues the border invasion, funds the weaponized government, and breaks our own conference rules,” Greene wrote in a post on X.
