Representative Lauren Boebert from Colorado said she doesn’t care if Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana stays or if Representative Hakeem Jeffries from New York becomes the new Speaker.
Boebert explained that because Democrats mostly support laws, it doesn’t matter to her who leads the House right now.
Her statement came before Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia announced her plan to try to remove Johnson from his position. Only two other Republicans support Greene’s plan.
However, it might be tough for Greene to succeed because Democratic leaders are against removing Johnson. Even if Greene’s plan fails, she thinks it’s still a victory because people will see who supported it.
Johnson criticized Greene’s actions, saying she wasn’t being a responsible lawmaker. He also said Greene’s plan is wrong for their party, the House, and the country.
Greene decided to take action against Johnson after the House approved a bill for foreign aid last month. She believes Johnson’s time as Speaker won’t last long.
