Greene Urges Unity: RNC Must Stay Intact, Johnson Should Not Be Removed

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley emphasized the importance of party unity on Sunday amidst concerns that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., might call for a vote to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

“We need to flip the Senate, and we need to expand our majority in the House. We’re not going to do that if we’re not unified,” Whatley told NBC News. “We need to make sure that all of the Republicans understand the gravity of this election cycle, and they do. And we need to make sure that we are on the same page as we’re moving forward.”

Greene announced on Wednesday that she plans to call for a vote next week to remove Johnson. She has been a vocal critic of Johnson, accusing him of betraying conservative values and GOP voters. Greene believes that keeping Johnson in power would lead to Democrats controlling the House next year.

Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, expressed concerns on Sunday that Greene’s actions are not in the best interest of former President Donald Trump.

“I don’t think this is a good move six months before an election. She’s always been about herself primarily,” Good said, as reported by The Hill.
