The House on May 8 voted to table a motion to strip Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) of the gavel.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) forced a vote on a motion to vacate after meeting with the speaker twice this week to discuss her grievances and demands.

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) then offered a measure to table Ms. Greene’s motion to vacate. Democrats joined Republicans to approve its shelving in a 359 to 43 vote. Eleven Republicans voted to move forward with the ouster attempt.

House Democrat leaders had earlier pledged to help protect Mr. Johnson in the event of Ms. Greene’s ouster vote, citing his help in passing $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific.

Here are the lawmakers who voted to advance the motion to vacate.
