Greene has been threatening Speaker Johnson for months, however House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries opened the door to doubtlessly saving Johnson on a movement to vacate if he agrees to a vote on support for Ukraine, Democrats wouldn’t vote as a caucus to maintain Johnson, however Jeffries would doubtless permit members to vote their conscience, which might permit some Democrats in crimson districts the liberty to vote to maintain Johnson round, and that might most likely be sufficient to avoid wasting him.
The movement to vacate would throw the Home again into chaos, however it seems that is what’s going to occur as allies of Greene’s are telling reporters to “tune in” to the Home flooring.
Issues could also be about to get very fascinating within the Home.
