One House Republican expressed concerns that a vacancy in Speaker of the House position would lead to chaos with no prepared successor, hinting that some centrist Republicans might even support a Democratic leader as a replacement.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is considering a motion to vacate Speaker Johnson, with a potential Ukraine aid vote serving as the trigger. However, removing Johnson is seen as unlikely due to the lack of viable replacements and the fragile majority in the House.
Various Republican representatives, including Rep. Mark Alford, Rep. Troy Nehls, and Rep. Dusty Johnson, voiced skepticism about the possibility of removing Speaker Johnson, citing the lack of capable individuals ready to step into the role effectively.
Speaker Johnson's rise to the position came after significant internal party struggles to find a nominee who could garner enough support within the Republican party, highlighting the challenges in maintaining consensus and unity.
