Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is moving to cool House tensions as a band of hard-line Republicans weigh whether to set in motion an attempt at his ouster.

Some on the far Right are livid with Johnson over a series of bills he put on the floor, most recently foreign aid for Ukraine that a majority of Republicans opposed. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to remove him as speaker in March, but she has so far held off on forcing a vote.
