House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) spoke about the need for Republican lawmakers in the House to remain united in their slim majority, acknowledging how many of them are frustrated over the party’s congressional leadership.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to vacate in March, arguing that Johnson should not remain speaker. Johnson noted that many Republicans have voiced their frustrations about the House, as Republicans have the slimmest majority in history.

“But here’s how we’re going to do it, Sean,” Johnson said on Fox News’s Hannity. “It’s a very simple formula: We will grow the majority in November, we’ll win back the Senate, and Donald Trump will be returned to the White House if we do a couple of simple things. We have to show what we’re for.”

Johnson argued that among the stances Republicans take are fiscal responsibility, limited government, and human dignity, with the House speaker claiming that Republicans need to show voters they support these while Democrats do not. He also said House Republicans need to stand together ahead of the November elections.

Regarding Greene’s motion to vacate, Johnson said he would talk to the Georgia congresswoman about her frustrations, but he argued that House Republicans cannot deal with any distractions. He also expressed doubt that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) would not become the next House speaker, though he admitted such a possibility is “a risk.”

“I share her frustration about the process, but the way for us to fix that is to grow the House majority, and the way to do that is to stand united together on the agenda going forward,” Johnson said. “So we’re going to have everyone working together. We’ll work on consensus and keep this team. Marjorie knows how high the stakes are for the country. We all do. And that’s why it’s never been more important for us to stand together, and I think we will. I think all our colleagues understand that. We’re going to get through this, Hakeem is not going to be the speaker, and we’ll take care of business.”

Greene denied causing further division within the Republican Party over her motion to vacate Johnson last month, arguing that the motion was a warning for the speaker. She also said this motion would not hinder former President Donald Trump’s electability in the presidential election.
