Johnson has served as speaker of the House for five months. It wasn't immediately clear how the House would respond to the motion.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

    Her district is germandered at like +25 Republican… she’s going no where. But also, having the Republicans do a ton of party infighting during an election year is great if you don’t like them. Makes them less appealing overall to voters. Let them flight.

      As someone who grew up in what is now her district during the 90s and early 00s, it is gerrymandered to hell and back but a good 85% of that area would vote for the GOP even if it gave them an instant herpes outbreak every time they cast a ballot

      Theyre already unappealing to most voters we just need to make sure enough of those show up in just the right spots.
