GOP Rep Biggs: No ‘critical mass’ of lawmakers to oust Johnson

Biggs went on to suggest that Johnson, ahead of the November elections, should bring votes on border security and energy policy to the floor every day before the contests to highlight the policy distinctions between Republicans and Democrats.

Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs on Monday suggested that House Speaker Mike Johnson was likely to maintain his post in the face of Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to vacate the chair.

Greene officially filed the motion to remove Johnson in the wake of his support for a $1.2 trillion “minibus” spending package. Following a recess, Greene returned and circulated a letter outlining her grievances with Johnson’s leadership. Earlier this month, Arizona GOP Rep. Paul Gosar joined Greene and Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie in sponsoring the motion.
