Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to vacate the Speaker's chair, sources told RedState Friday morning.
The motion comes after the House plans to vote for a government funding bill that is leaving many conservatives frustrated. However, it's unclear if the motion will pass. According to speculation, it was a motion to vacate the chair against Speaker Mike Johnson, who has been caught in the middle between conservative and moderate Republicans over policies that include foreign aid to Ukraine and securing the southern border.
