GOP Sen. J.D. Vance is urging his fellow Republicans in the House to block Speaker Mike Johnson's foreign aid plan -- a move characterized in a news report as "an uncommon effort by a member of one chamber to sway policy across the Capitol."

'Unprecedented' chaos in House GOP if Johnson gets the boot: CNN data reporter

The ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year by a handful of renegade Republicans triggered weeks of chaos and paralysis in Congress. But that's nothing to how bad it would be if House Speaker Mike Johnson gets the boot now, election forecaster Harry Enten told CNN's John Berman on Wednesday.

This comes as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is threatening to call such a vote if Johnson moves ahead with mounting pressure to vote on renewing defense aid to Ukraine — something he has resisted for weeks under threats from GOP hardliners, but is increasingly searching for a compromise on to break the impasse. Johnson has defied calls by Greene and her allies to resign.

Mike Johnson can count on at least some Democrats to save his job after a second Republican announced he supports U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's efforts to remove the embattled GOP Speaker of the House. Weeks ago Greene filed a motion to "vacate the chair," which she can call up at any time to force a vote that could lead to Johnson losing his gavel.

"I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate," U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) declared late Tuesday morning. "He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker."
