A number of Republicans have come out in support of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in response to a move by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) demanding his ouster.

Ms. Greene filed a motion to vacate on March 22, seeking to oust Mr. Johnson from his leadership role in frustration over a $1.2 trillion spending package Congress passed to avoid a shutdown.
