Greene Threatens Motion to Vacate Speaker Over Ukraine Aid-Border Deal
-
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens to file a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson if Ukraine aid and border security are paired together. She calls it a "failing strategy."
-
Greene says she'll "fight it as much as possible" even if she has to "vacate the chair." Others agree with her.
-
Previously, Greene criticized the idea of vacating the speaker, calling it "the dumbest thing." Now with Johnson moving forward on the bipartisan deal, Greene seems to be changing her tune.
-
Greene says "there's a lot of unhappiness in the conference" over the spending deal and "we're not going to bend over to Mitch McConnell."
-
Hardline conservatives have been working for spending cuts and trying to renegotiate the deal that Johnson struck with Democrats.
