While many Democrats have stated their opposition to ousting Johnson, especially after he secured aid for Ukraine, Moskowitz went a step further in his comments on MSNBC's "The Weekend." U.S. House of Representatives/Wikimedia

He said, "I've said this before and I think there are other members who feel the same way, the idea of allowing Marjorie Taylor Greene ... [to remove] any speaker and having that powerful moment, there is just no way Democrats are going to let her do that." Florida House of Representatives/Wikimedia

Moskowitz added, "I'm not going to let her do that. We won't even let her name a post office. We're not going to let her take out the speaker." Florida House of Representatives/Wikimedia

The sentiment expressed by Moskowitz aligns with the position of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who has suggested that Democrats would likely support Johnson remaining as speaker. US Congress/Wikimedia

However, Moskowitz acknowledged, "obviously we'll wait for Leader Jeffries to figure out that solution." Florida House of Representatives/Wikimedia

Despite House Democratic leadership urging caution, many Democrats have openly dismissed the idea of removing Johnson, citing concerns about rewarding hardliners like Greene or plunging the House into further chaos and unproductivity. Office of Representative Mike Johnson/Wikimedia
