Right now, it\u2019s all hands on deck, all hands on the wheel. \u2026 I\u2019m honored to be able to do that. I expect I\u2019ll be doing that in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As he looks ahead to the next Congress, Johnson said he has the backing of former President Donald Trump \u2014 which could help secure enough support across the GOP conference to solidify his hold on the gavel. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of our leaders of our party are united in this call because our objective and our mission is to save the country,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAnd in my view, if we don\u2019t grow the House majority [and if] we don\u2019t retake the Senate from the other party and the White House, then I think we\u2019re facing very serious threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s confidence to continue leading the GOP conference comes as he faces a threat from firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to oust the speaker from his top leadership position even before the year is over. Greene initially filed a motion to vacate over a month ago, holding the threat over Johnson\u2019s head as he navigated key pieces of legislation such as government spending and foreign aid. <\/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>It\u2019s not entirely clear whether Greene plans to move forward with her ouster threats. The Georgia Republican announced she would bring it to the floor for a vote this week, but those plans have since been stalled after a substantial number of Republicans and Democrats came out to say they\u2019d block the measure. <\/p>\n<p>Greene met with Johnson in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/2993399\/mtg-johnson-talks-motion-to-vacate-headed-second-round\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"two-hour meeting\">two-hour meeting<\/a> on Monday to discuss a path forward, and she will reconvene in the speaker\u2019s office on Tuesday afternoon. Even if Greene drops her bid to boot Johnson before the end of the year, she has repeatedly said Johnson would not be reelected as the party\u2019s leader next year. <\/p>\n<p>Other Republican lawmakers have also expressed opposition to Johnson\u2019s leadership in the future, even those who have been opposed to a motion to vacate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) plans to lead the GOP conference after the November election, despite threats to remove him from the top leadership role.
