It\u2019s not entirely clear what will be discussed, but it was Greene who requested the meeting, according to a source familiar. <\/p>\n<p>The meeting comes as Greene is poised to notice her motion to vacate as early as Monday evening, which would bring the motion to the floor for a vote sometime in the next two days. Greene filed the motion over a month ago, holding it over Johnson\u2019s head as he plotted a path forward on foreign aid and other key pieces of legislation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a warning to stop serving the Democrats and support our Republican Conference and support our agenda,\u201d Greene said last week. \u201cAnd he didn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greene will move forward with the threat even as it seems destined to fail, with Democratic leadership vowing to oppose the motion should it be brought to the floor. Several Republican lawmakers have also rejected the proposal, likely making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-moves-ahead-with-vote-to-oust-johnson-despite-democrats-rescue-plan\/\" title=\"MTG Proceeds with Vote to Remove Johnson Despite Democrats' Rescue Plan\">motion dead<\/a> on arrival. <\/p>\n<p>Still, Greene has refused to back down, claiming that even if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sinema-deals-ultimatum-to-biden-on-reconciliation-bill-report\/\" title=\"Sinema Deals Ultimatum To Biden On Reconciliation Bill: Report\">vote fails<\/a>, it will put her colleagues on the record on where they stand regarding Johnson\u2019s leadership. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Do] members of Congress support that unity party? Is this what they support?\u201d Greene said. \u201cI think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they may.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t 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,\u201d Greene added.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have pushed back on suggestions that a table to motion would indicate support for Johnson\u2019s speakership, instead posing it as a way to avoid another leaderless period in the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of the discussion that we had in caucus was about saving Mike Johnson. The underlying motion debate was not discussed. The motion to table was, and there is a distinction there,\u201d Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) said on Tuesday. \u201cWe want to turn the page and focus on the pressing issues that everyday Americans care about. And spending time on this just doesn\u2019t make sense to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The vote could also put Greene at odds with former President Donald Trump and his allies in Congress, as the former president has come out in support of Johnson\u2019s leadership. However, Greene has rejected suggestions she is defying Trump\u2019s wishes, arguing she is the former president\u2019s strongest supporter on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear when the motion to vacate will be brought to the floor. If Greene notices the measure on Monday evening, GOP leaders can schedule a vote as early as Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
