Fails to begin the process of trying to get rid of the House Speaker who is a member of her own party. We have been following this for from the beginning. Georgias Marjorie Taylor greene triggered motion late this afternoon to vacate. It is immediately rebuffed by her colleagues. 10 other republicans voted to continue that effort. Senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram is at capitol hill right now with the latest. A lot of drama but kind of as we expected. Good evening, chad. Good evening, bret. A lot of drama but we kind of knew the outcome for the second time in 8 months. There was an effort to kick out the speaker of the house. In october, it was successful. Today, it was not. The house has just voted to kill this resolution by Marjorie Taylor greene. The vote was 349 in an effort to table this, to kill, this to put this off the table. There were 47 members who voted in favor of it. In other words, they wanted to advance to an actual vote to remove the speaker. There were Seven Members who voted president. Here are some of the grievances from Marjorie Taylor greene. Listen. Whereas excuses like this is just how you have to govern in divided government are pathetic, weak and unacceptable. Even with our razor thin republican majority. We could have at least secured the border. With it being the number one issue in the country. Now, there were 11 republicans who voted against voted in favor of trying to throw out speaker johnson here. Had this motion to table not succeeded, what would have happened is they would have advanced immediately to a vote to remove House Speaker mike johnson. Thats what happened with former speaker Kevin Mccarthy last fall. I have the names of the 11 republicans who voted in favor of trying to oust johnson. Andy biggs of arizona. Eric burleson of missouri. Eli crane of arizona. Warren davidson of ohio. Paul gosar of arizona. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Thomas massie of kentucky who, you know, aligned with greene on this. Alex mooney of west virginia. Berry moore of alabama. Chip roy of texas. Victoria spartz and Marjorie Taylor greene basically said that mike johnson was unfit to be speaker. She criticized him over fisa. She criticized him over dealing with democrats to move the foreign aid package and spending bills. This is an interesting situation here because it was basically democrats who salvaged mike johnson as we often say it is about the numbers. And the democrats making the decision with 11 republicans voting against mike johnson. Otherwise, we would have had a vote later tonight on removing mike johnson had democrats not come to his rescue. Bret . Bret so, chad, does this end this effort permanently . Not necessarily because what greene did and about 45, 46 days ago. She lorded this resolution over mike johnson. And what she did tonight is she triggered it. She made it privileged. Meaning it goes to the front of the legislative line. Can you do this Add Infinitum if you want. Marjorie Taylor Greene in some respects here was beaten back very badly here. She didnt have the votes. If she wanted to do this again, she could. Keep in mind that there an awful lot of discontent among republicans, her fellow republicans for doing. This they think this is taking away from President Trump trying to run for election this fall. Making the republicans look bad. And just stirring this mayhem and chaos in the house of representatives. Thats where some say that the democrats, you know, they wanted to get away from this chaos. They believe that mike johnson has been an honest broker. They dont like some of his conservatism and his politics. But they believe that he worked with them on ukraine and some of the spending bills. And thats why they were willing to intervene and help him today. But, bret, some might argue that that helped facilitate some of the chaos because they insisted mike johnson, a member of the other party that, is very rare. Bret yeah, shad per gram live on the hill having us cord on all an 2k3we8s of this. Appeals court in georgia meantime will review a Lower Court Ruling allowing Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney to continue to prosecute the Election Interference case against former president donald trump. The trump team wants fani willis removed. Correspondent Jonathan Serrie has details on all of that life from atlanta. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening to you, bret. Legal experts say that this is a victory for the defense, because it keeps the Spotlight Off of the defendants and on the District Attorney trying to prosecute them. I dont care how many times they threaten me. I will gladly leave this place knowing that i did gods work. As she runs for reelection against challenges from outside and inside her own party, democrat fani willis had hoped to bring former President Trump and his associates to trial in august. But legal experts say the Georgia Court of appeals next term doesnt start until then. Meaning an all but certain delay for the Election Interference case. Theres no way this is going to go to trial any time before the election. We would be lucky to see a trial in spring of 2025. All rise. The defense is appealing judge scott mcafees march 15 order that allowed willis to remain on the case on condition her former boyfriend, nathan wade, stepped down as special prosecutor. He excused himself from the case. But our argument is that basically this does not right the wrong. There should be disqualification. This case is selective prosecution. Its persecution at its best. Ashleigh merchant, the defense lawyer who filed the initial motion to fani willis. We feel confident when reviews the evidence of conflict in this case the court will agree with us and disqualify willis and her entire office from further prosecution of this matter and require that a new Central Prosecutor be appointed to review whether these charges are even appropriate. The appeal will be decided by a panel of three judges, randomly assigned to the case. And we reached out to the Fulton County d. A. s office for comment. They have yet to respond. Bret . Bret jonathan, another issue here. Fulton county, where you are standing there, faces criticism for its handling of recounts in the 2020 president ial election, looking into it again. Whats happening there . Yeah. Just yesterday, the Georgia Election board voted to send an official letter of reprimand to Fulton County and, also, to appoint an independent auditor for elections there. This comes after an investigation by the georgia secretary of States Office determined that the county used some improper procedures during ballot recounts, bret. Bret so, could that have affected the outcome of the election in georgia . Well, both the county and state Elections Officials say no. A Voter Complaint is what prompted them to investigate whether double scanned ballots had made it into the recounts. While they could not determine how many, if any duplicate made the tally, they say that any way it plays out, the number would be well below the margin of victory for joe biden in this state in 2020. And they found no evidence of fraud. Bret okay. We will continue to follow that Jonathan Serrie live in atlanta. Jonathan, thanks.

Bret okay, Mark Meredith at George Washington university. Mark, thanks. President biden says the nation is experiencing what he calls a Great American comeback story. The president is trying to focus on an economy he says leaving no one behind. But new polls show the economy continues to be a tough sell around the country for President Biden. So is his middle east policy. Especially among young people as you just saw in that last report. Senior National Correspondent rich edson is live at the white house tonight with the latest from the north lawn. Good evening, rich. Good evening, bret. Hours after police cleared that encampment just a few blocks here from the white house, President Biden took off from the midwest of the u. S. Where he was campaigning on the economy. Its an issue that polls show is a weakness for the president my predecessor came promise of, quote reclaiming our countrys proud manufacturing legacy. Every week for four years didnt build a damn thing. In the swing state of wisconsin President Biden afound in a microsoft plant to build a data center. Its the same site in 2018 trump heralded as a massive future Foxconn Development that deal fell apart and biden took the opportunity to mock his opponent. Foxconn turned out to be just that a con. Republican National Committee says biden is in wisconsin trying to save face and, quote its no wonder why biden is losing in wisconsin and Battleground States across the country. His policies have failed and people want President Trump back in office. Quinnipiac released a poll giving biden a 39 Approval Ratings and 50 to 44 advantage over trump in wisconsin. There biden is losing to predecessor 5244 on the economy and 4543 on the israelhamas war. The president is facing growing opposition on sending arms to israel. The administration halted a shipment of bombs over concerns the Israeli Military would use them in a densely populated city of rafah. We not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment. Republicans say the white house is mollifying liberal extremists. The president s apparent inability to keep the most radical voices on left flank out of the situation room isnt just a shameful abdication of leadership. Its actually dangerous. President biden has a new warning for israel tonight. This just coming out for an interview that he did with cnn. He says if they go into rafah talking about israel, hes not going to supply the type of weapons that have been used historically. Is he basically talking about Artillery Shells and other things, not defensive weapons. Bret . Bret thats definitely something to watch. We talked about that with senator fetterman last night on set. Rich, another topic, the white house taking some Executive Action on immigration. What about that . Yeah. Thats right, bret. They got some changes when it documents calling or claiming for asylum. This is basically going to allow the administration to expedite the removal of migrants who officials suspect pose some type of National Security or safety risks to the u. S. Asylum is a system that by the way, thats according to politico. Asylum is a system where migrants come across and they say that they are facing some type of persecution. Generally thats gets them access into the United States. Republicans and a number of other folks say that migrants, many of them, are abusing that system to get access to the u. S. The white house had no comment, though the chairman mark green of the House Homeland SecurityCommittee Said that these proposed changes are politically motivated and wont fix the problem, he says, that President Biden created.
