The Speaker's criticism has fueled his efforts to pass long-awaited funding for Ukraine, Israel and other foreign allies.

Democrats in the US House of Representatives will not support attempts to remove Republican Johnson if far-right MP Marjorie Taylor Greene brings the issue to a vote. MSNBC writes about this on Sunday, April 28.

In particular, Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz said that Democrats would not support an attempt to dismiss Republican Johnson.

“Obviously, we will wait for our leader Jeffries to find a solution,” Moskowitz said.

He stressed that Democrats will not allow “a man who would literally allow the world to burn with his isolationist foreign policy and who talked about secession from the United States” to remove the speaker.

Johnson previously said that he did not ask Democrats for help and was willing to risk his job to help Ukraine stop Russian aggression.
