Greene\u200c highlighted the \u2064greater GOP \u2062support compared to the past, criticizing \u200cDemocrats for backing Johnson. \u2064A substantial \u200bportion of\u200d House Republicans and \u200bDemocrats united to defer Rep.

Eleven Republicans and 32 Democrats voted not to table the motion, a threat that has been hanging over Johnson\u2019s head since Greene introduced the motion in March.<\/p>\n<p>After the defeat, Greene noted her effort to oust Johnson netted more GOP support than the successful move to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year with just eight Republicans. The difference is no Democrats voted to save McCarthy last year, while most sided with Johnson on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say the Democrats validated him to the rest of the Congress,\u201d Greene said after the vote. \u201cDemocrats saved him, Nancy Pelosi voted for him \u2014 Nancy Pelosi doesn\u2019t vote for Republicans unless she has full control of the House \u2014 Hakeem Jeffries, the entire leadership team, Jerry Nadler, Jamie Raskin, they all voted for Mike Johnson.
