Forty House Republicans on Wednesday against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest motion to postpone voting, and another sign that her party is becoming increasingly frustrated with the Republican procedure in Georgia.
That figure was more than double the 18 Republicans who voted against her motion to end Home Business for the day last week.
Some of the Republicans who bullied Greene and GOP leaders correctly predicted that the number of “no” votes would only increase as Greene used more of those votes.
They complained that these unexpected voices, which did not appear on the program of the House, disrupted the constituent assemblies and the congressional hearings and had no other purpose than to glue up the floor.

Like the other useless Greene votes, Wednesday’s motion to adjourn failed by a 149-235 call.
But most Republicans – nearly 150 of that vote – still clung to Greene, who began using this procedure after Democrats voted last month to deprive her of her two commissions from the committee on offensive posts on social media.
Greene said on Wednesday that she was trying to stop Congress from succeeding. President Biden

“We have to do everything we can to stop it. Note if Rs vote to postpone. Or with the Dems, ”Greene tweeted.
But Greene’s antics did not stop Biden’s relief bill for an hour or so. The Democratic-controlled House is on track to pass the package on to a party vote and send it to Biden’s desk later Wednesday.
CORRECTION: An initial version of this story misrepresented the number of Republicans who opposed the motion. It was 40.
