After speaker defeat, Marjorie Greene is back stirring the pot: What's next?
After speaker defeat, Marjorie Taylor Greene is back stirring the pot: What's next? (USA Today)WASHINGTON – Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suffered a stinging public defeat on the House floor earlier this month when the vast majority of lawmakers in the lower chamber, tired with the Georgia Republican’s antics, voted to kill her push to remove Mike Johnson, R-La., as speaker.
But that loss appeared to be just a minor blip in Greene’s rising career - and it's only amplified talk she could join a future Trump administration or run for a higher office in Georgia like senator or governor.
House lawmakers have “a tendency to think of themselves going to the next level,” one of Greene's fellow GOP colleagues from the Peach State, Rep. Rich McCormick told USA TODAY.
