Mike Johnson is almost certain to survive MTG's effort oust him due to the support of Democrats.
But progressives are unsure how to handle the vote, with some citing Johnson's own hard-right views.
AdvertisementNext week, Democrats will be siding with a Republican that they've derided as being slavishly loyal to Donald Trump, wedded to evangelical Christian nationalist beliefs, opposed to LGBTQ+ rights, and a danger to American democracy.
Some of them haven't decided whether that person is Speaker Mike Johnson or Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
After all, House Democrats voted unanimously with Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy in October.
