On a recent Tuesday, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a stalwart member of the Republican caucus from Georgia, made it clear that her quest to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, a fellow Republican from Louisiana, was far from over. This dramatic move comes as House Democratic leadership made the surprising announcement that they would utilize their voting power to safeguard Johnson's role as Speaker.

For some, this display of bipartisan support might have been seen as a testament to Johnson's ability to work across the aisle. However, for staunch conservatives like Greene, it was nothing less than a betrayal. After all, this political chess move was a response to Johnson's collaboration with Democrats to shepherd a monumental $95 billion foreign aid package through the House.

Greene didn't mince words when she grilled Johnson for his cross-bench collaboration, suggesting that he was privately strategizing with the Democratic camp to secure his position. Johnson's time as Speaker of the House has been brief, having held the role for just over half a year, yet his willingness to work alongside Democrats has catalyzed strong reactions within his own party.

In fact, Greene wasn't alone in expressing her disdain for Johnson's actions. Representatives Paul Gosar of Arizona and Thomas Massie of Kentucky also threw their weight behind Greene's motion to oust Johnson. Their collective stand emblematized the discontent simmering within parts of the Republican caucus over Johnson's decision.
