Speaker Jeffries?

If Marjorie Taylor Greene gets her way, this post's title might becoe a reality. CNN reports that while Greene officially filed her motion to vacate before the Easter recess break, she has yet to take the necessary step to force a floor vote, essentially keeping the threat in her back pocket. It's reported that Speaker Mike Jpohnson is keenly aware of the motion, and is factoring it into key decisions he must make - especially about Ukraine aid. That's why, over the two-week Easter recess, Johnson has been quietly working to create a Ukraine strategy.

Democrats have made it known they will save Johnson if he moves a Ukraine bill they can support. But if he moves a bill that is narrower than their demands, or includes wrinkles such as new restrictions on our border with Mexico, he risks putting off both Democrats and right-wing Republicans who are opposed to a dollar more for Ukraine. Plus, adding spending cuts to offset the Ukraine package — as Matt Gaetz and other hardliners want— would prompt stiff Democratic opposition. Meanwhile, Greene is trying to determine where all members, Republican and Democrat, stand on Ukfraine ande on Johnson as Speaker.

Given the microscopically thin advantage Repubklicans have in the House, and the fact that at least a few hard-core, far-right Republican members might very well support a motion to vacate, Democrats may end up with the chance, not to prederve Mr. Johnson's Speakership, but rather to elect a new Speaker - Hakeem Jeffries.
