Some Democrats have said they are unlikely to support an effort to strip Johnson of his speakership, while others have said they are open to protecting him under certain conditions.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., introduced a motion last month to remove Johnson. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., announced Tuesday he is co-sponsoring Greeneās motion.
Greene has not yet forced a vote on removing Johnson. That could change soon after the speaker announced he is putting three separate bills on the floor that would provide billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The votes are expected Saturday.
