Mike Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene to resume talks on speaker removal vote on Tuesday

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and firebrand Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will resume talks about moving forward together on Tuesday, after the pair met to discuss a potential removal vote on Monday.

Greene has threatened to call a vote to oust Johnson recently, after he helped pass a major foreign aid package last month. Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Arizona GOP Rep. Paul Gosar have supported Greene's effort to remove Johnson from power, but even Democrats appear to favor keeping Johnson in power over finding yet another speaker replacement.

Johnson and Greene met for two hours on Monday, and the speaker described the meeting as "productive," per CNN.

“We just had a very long discussion with the speaker," Greene told reporters after the Monday meeting. "We are going to be meeting again tomorrow based on the discussion that we’ve had so we really don’t have any news to report at this time."

Johnson confirmed that the pair will meet again on Tuesday, and appeared hopeful that they would be able to move forward together.

“We had a productive discussion and we talked about some ideas and we’re gonna meet again tomorrow," Johnson said. "So I think we’ll be able to get everybody on the same page.”

The discussions come as the House prepares to vote on whether to replace Johnson sometime this week. It is not clear how many Republicans are in favor of replacing the speaker, but conservative lawmakers in the past appeared skeptical of replacing Johnson. 

GOP Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs said last month that there are Republican lawmakers who are frustrated and angry with the speaker, but there is not a "critical mass to oust Johnson."
