Republicans and Democrats banded together Wednesday, voting “yes” to block a motion introduced by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a right-wing Republican from Georgia, that sought to remove Mike Johnson as speaker of the House.
Eleven Republicans and 32 Democrats voted against blocking the measure. Seven Democrats voted “present,” declining to register a position.
