Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens chaos with a motion to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson

Politically Georgia

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to remove Mike Johnson as speaker of the U.S. House. But she says it’s a warning that he needs to embrace issues of importance to her far-right colleagues.

But first, Andy Miller of Georgia Health News joins the podcast to discuss what’s behind the GOP-controlled Legislature’s ongoing rejection of a full Medicaid expansion.

Then, in the state Senate, pressure is ramping up to pass culture war issues in the final days of the legislative session.

And the hosts talk about responses to Geoff Duncan’s extended interview on "Politically Georgia." Now that he won’t run as the No Labels candidate for president, what does his political future look like?
