In a rare show of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill, Democrats are now coming to the defense of Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and vowing — at least for now — to thwart threats to oust him from his role.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced Tuesday that his leadership team will reject a motion filed by GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calling on Johnson to vacate the speaker's chair. Democrats said they would vote to table Greene's motion, essentially pausing it in its tracks. "From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have put people over politics and found bipartisan common ground with traditional Republicans in order to deliver real results," Democratic leaders said in a joint statement."At the same time, House Democrats have aggressively pushed back against MAGA extremism. We will continue to do just that.
However, while Democrats have vowed to table Greene's motion to vacate, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus Rep. Pete Aguilar hinted that the threat against Speaker Johnson's job is still in Democrats' hands.
