The push to oust Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House—only months after he first took the job—is gaining momentum and threatening to throw the GOP-led House into chaos yet again.
In a closed-door conference meeting on Tuesday morning, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced to his colleagues that he would be co-sponsoring Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) resolution to vacate the speakership, according to a source in the room.
In a brazen challenge, Massie directly asked Johnson to resign—a request the Speaker declined.
