Republican firebrand Greene calls for vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson

Reuters

WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - Firebrand Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called on Wednesday for a vote on her motion to remove fellow Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson from his leadership role.

Greene's effort is unlikely to succeed as she has scant support within her party and top House Democrats have said they would move to protect Johnson to avoid a replay of the chaos that followed in October when Republicans ousted his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.
