Greene’s ‘vacate’ push on hold amid ongoing talks with speaker

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene put her campaign to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on an indefinite pause Tuesday, saying she was no longer committed to forcing a vote on vacating the speaker’s office this week.

After meeting with Johnson for the second time in as many days, Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said they would wait to hear how the embattled speaker responds to four “suggestions” they made on policy changes they want to see enacted.

“Right now, the ball is in Mike Johnson’s court,” Greene said on the Capitol steps alongside Massie, shortly after a roughly 90-minute meeting in the speaker’s office. “He understands that he’s got to be our Republican speaker of the House.”
