WASHINGTON Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is struggling to find allies in her push to overthrow Speaker Mike Johnson after he put Ukraine funding to a vote, with many fellow hard-right Republicans saying they oppose her cause after a weeklong recess.
I oppose a motion to vacate at the current time, said Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who led the motion to vacate that ousted Kevin McCarthy as speaker and has been critical of Johnson, R-La.
"I think that's pretty much not gonna happen. We're at too much of a slim majority," added another Florida Republican, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who has been highly critical of Johnson but is worried Democrats could end up in the majority after another chaotic coup.
"I don't support what he's doing; he went back on his word to us," she said of Johnson. "However, I'm not going to risk giving the gavel to a Democrat."
