Speaker Mike Johnson is drawing closer to a career-defining choice for a Republican speaker — whether to rely on Democratic help to stay in the job.
With three Republicans endorsing a motion to terminate his leadership, Johnson will need Democratic support to survive if Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) follows through on her threat to force a vote on his removal.

@Free_Press I wish reporting wouldn’t get this backwards like this.
It’s not that Johnson needs Democratic help to stay in the job. It’s the opposite: the hardliners need Democratic help to oust him.
The hardliners are such a small minority that without Democratic votes they’re quickly sidelined.
And we need to hold those Democratic reps accountable for voting with Republican ideologues.
