Marjorie Taylor Greene 'running the show' in the House for Trump: Morning Joe panel

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is challenging House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership, and panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" agreed the Georgia Republican appeared to be "running the show."

Greene filed a motion to vacate the speaker's chair last month, which would take only three GOP votes to remove him and leaves a threat looming over Johnson's head as he seeks funding for Ukraine, and political analyst Jon Heilemann said that also renders the Republicans incapable of governing.
