A Democratic member of the House has now announced his readiness to vote in support of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in the event that far-right Republicans attempt to remove him from his position.
During an appearance on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) confirmed to presenter Jonathan Karl that he will support Johnson if Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) move to vacate is presented on the floor.
“Does Speaker Johnson deserve credit for how this played out?” Karl queried
“He does,” Khanna said in response “We came into Congress together, and he always cared about civility. He actually led the civility pledge. And we had one issue, which was give individual votes, don’t lump things together. And I give him credit for doing this. I would actually vote to table any motion to vacate him.”
The California Democrat is confident that he will not be the sole individual from his political party to support the speaker.
“I’m a progressive Democrat, and I think you would have a few progressive Democrats doing that. And I disagree with Speaker Johnson on many issues and have been very critical of him. But he did the right thing here, and he deserves to keep his job until the end of this term.” The far-left Democrat concluded.
