Many centrist Democrats said they believed saving Johnson was the right decision to continue governing.<\/p>\n<p>With the GOP\u2019s narrow majority and assurances from House Democrats that they would table the motion to vacate, how many Republicans will vote against tabling the motion could affect the future of Johnson\u2019s role in House GOP leadership after being thrust there in October.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Greene, Rep.
