Democrats say they'll block an attempt to oust House Speaker Johnson

House Democratic leaders said Tuesday they would support Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, if a motion to vacate is called. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane reports from Capitol Hill.

They cant save his seat in congress. They may save his speakership but thry cant save his seat

[takeysha]

Marge's head is gonna explode! Lol😂😂

[harleyquinn]

Mike Johnson should switch the party affiliation.

[goodgrief]

Anyone else thinking why wouldn't they oust him and put themselves in the house seat? Bc they already are.

[ojlmdjc]

As a former Republican anything that gets our government working I would approve we need a functioning government not this destabilized government we now have please please get together and govern

[RDPendleton]

Mike Johnson looks like someone tried to draw Crispin Glover from memory.

[runitback]

And that's how you know if someone is compromised, when democrats are willing to back a republican. GET HIM OUT FAST

[thedangerous]

Would Republicans do that for Democrats? Hell no but we never learned our lesson.

[kdog]

Make Johnson bring the Lankford bill to the floor for a vote or theyll oust him.

[MrMetro-mtqv]

Why? Magic Mike has doing all of Trump’s biddings; let him fend for himself.

[garybryant]

Risky, but may be a calculated risk that could pay off.

[pevlez]

They learned the lesson from the Mccarthy debacle

[tjewett]

Their support should come with the condition that the Border Bill must be put up for vote!

[KentaObscuro]

I hope they stipulate if Johnson screws us over in the future, we'll back the motion to vacate next time

[REVNUMANEWBERN]

Johnson needs to STAY IN D.C. and do his work, leave the campuses as they are

Thank you #CBSNews.

We look forward to hearing from House Speaker Mike Johnson on the status of "the farm bill, " SNAP, TANF, and all other federal benefits that support food security.

Hopefully, the Democrats are working with Speaker Johnson to continue our country's tradition of keeping Americans fed without "work requirements." Unless my SNAP benefits post on my EBT card, we are still waiting on Congress. 🇺🇸 @00:20

[crewmagnum]

Tells me all I need to know about Speaker Johnson.

[gemcan]

Johnson can no longer say he is a "constitutionalist". Lame as Biden's brain.

[levismith]

Byron Donald should’ve been made speaker of the house

[danielburnside]

And this was probably his plan all along and by the way he can't resign he's already taken the money just like Kevin McCarthy
