Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) motion to vacate against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) could see a vote as early as today, but is poised to fail. 
After introducing the measure in March, Greene has held it over Johnson as a “warning” against further conduct conservatives found distasteful. Overseeing only a three-vote majority, it was far from an idle threat, as only a handful of frustrated conservatives could have ousted Johnson.
