Ouster threat looms as Speaker Johnson returns to Congress
Briefly

House Speaker Mike Johnson faced backlash from hardline conservatives after passing a foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region, despite praise from both sides of the aisle.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened to call a vote for Johnson's ouster if he doesn't resign, citing betrayal of Republican voters over the foreign aid bill.
Two House Republicans, Reps. Massie and Gosar, publicly backed the effort to force a vote to remove Speaker Johnson, potentially escalating the internal party conflict.
The upcoming decision on Speaker Johnson's fate remains uncertain, with Greene claiming more GOP support for her ouster efforts post-recess, but timing and outcome of a potential vote are unclear.
