After weeks of threatening House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) job, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is finally moving forward with her motion to vacate — putting the firebrand Republican at odds with many in her party, including former President Donald Trump. 

Greene announced she would bring the motion to the floor next week even as several Republican lawmakers have already indicated they would oppose the measure, likely making it dead on arrival as Democrats have also vowed to block the measure. However, the Georgia Republican has refused to back down even as many of her allies on the right have voiced concerns it could cost them their majority next year.
