Democrats have officially decided to protect Speaker Mike Johnson from MTG's ouster effort.
They said it was time to "turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction."
Greene could still force the vote anyway in order to put lawmakers on record.

Speaker Mike Johnson's job is probably safe, at least until November.

In a statement on Tuesday morning, the top three House Democratic leaders — including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — said that they would oppose any effort by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to oust Johnson from the speakership.
