Speaker Johnson faces ouster vote in pivotal week

[Dulcinea]

(CNN) House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to confront a vote over his ouster in the coming days, a pivotal moment that presents a major leadership test for the Louisiana Republican even though he is expected to prevail.

House Democratic leaders have said that Democrats will vote to kill the effort led by GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, effectively ensuring Johnson won’t lose his job.

A failed vote will give Johnson an opportunity to argue that it is time to move on from the issue. But support from Democrats will open Johnson up to even more criticism from his right flank.

It’s not yet clear how many Republicans will vote against Johnson – the higher the number, the more of a blow it could prove to be to the speaker’s standing within the House GOP conference.

1. They have been saying this since he was elected. Are they going to do it this time?

Or just say they will than don't? Stay tuned . Watch. Whatever.

2. We'll save his gavel for him as long as he keeps the deal. I love it when MT Greene's caucus gets to pound sand.
