Democrats rally behind Mike Johnson as Republicans abandon ship

House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a pivotal vote next week in the House of Representatives, where a motion to remove him from his position looms large. Amidst this turmoil, his support among Republicans and Trump loyalists is dwindling, while Democrats and Biden backers rally behind him.

Breitbart states, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) intends to introduce a resolution to oust Johnson, but Democrats plan to thwart it by voting to table Greene’s motion.
