House Democratic leaders are vowing that they will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) motion to vacate the chair if she tries to bring it up for a vote.

In a statement on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Conn.), and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) took aim at House Republicans for declining to hold a vote on aid packages for Ukraine, Israel, and other “democratic allies,” as well as humanitarian assistance for Haiti and Gaza.

“Thanks to a bipartisan coalition of Democrats and Republicans, led by President Biden, we were finally able to meet the national security needs of the American people,” the statement continued.

It went on:

“From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have put people over politics and found bipartisan common round with traditional Republicans in order to deliver real results. At the same time, House Democrats have aggressively pushed back against MAGA extremism. We will continue to do just that.”

The Democratic leaders stated, “At this moment, upon completion of our national security work, the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction.”

“We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed,” they added.

In a post on X earlier this week, Greene blasted Johnson for paving the way for the aid packages to pass the House, writing, “Johnson will do whatever Biden/Schumer want in order to keep the Speaker’s gavel in his hand, but he has completely sold out the Republican voters who gave us the majority. His days as Speaker are numbered.”

She has been leading the push since the House passed a government funding bill last month.

However, the push to oust Johnson started to gain steam as he held a vote on a several foreign aid packages for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

Greene has also previously questioned whether Johnson is being blackmailed due to his decision to pave the wave for the House to approve the aid packages.

“You can’t help but to question, what do they have on him? Is he being blackmailed? What would make this man do this?” she asked during an interview with X show host Tucker Carlson.

Jeffries has previously suggested Democrats would help shoot down the motion if Johnson held a vote on the aid packages.
