A second House Republican said he will support the effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson from power, pointing to the GOP leader's handling of foreign aid for Ukraine and other U.S. allies. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who is a member of Johnson's own Rules Committee, said he informed the speaker directly in a closed-door meeting of House Republicans Tuesday that he is co-sponsoring the resolution offered by far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to remove Johnson, R-La., from the top job.
