(WASHINGTON) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Wednesday that she will move ahead with her attempt to oust Speaker Mike Johnson from the House’s top job — though her plan seems doomed to fail.<\/p>\n

The Georgia Republican, who first introduced a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair in March, said in a news conference outside the U.S. Capitol that she will trigger a vote on the House floor next week.<\/p>\n

“Mike Johnson is not capable of that job, he has proven that over and over again,” she said.<\/p>\n

Greene, joined by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, aired a litany of grievances she has with Johnson, who she has described as a Democratic speaker working against former President Donald Trump’s agenda. They included his work with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown and his recent ushering of $95 billion in foreign aid through Congress.<\/p>\n

Greene’s move comes after House Democratic leadership announced that if a motion to vacate Johnson is brought to the House floor for a vote, they would vote to table the effort — effectively saving the speaker from ouster.<\/p>\n

The motion to vacate is unlikely to succeed as most Republicans have joined Democrats in vowing to spike it.<\/p>\n

Still, Greene said she wanted lawmakers to go on record on this issue.<\/p>\n

“I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they may,” Greene said. “And so next week, I am going to be calling this motion to vacate. Absolutely calling it. I can’t wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker, and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again having supported a Republican speaker.”<\/p>\n

Greene continued, “And I also can’t wait to see my Republican conference show their cards and show who we are because voters deserve it.”<\/p>\n

Johnson ascended to the speakership in October 2023 after the removal of his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.<\/p>\n
