At a briefing in front of the Capitol on May 1, Green said that after being elected speaker, Johnson "became a man none of us recognize.
Green's fellow party member Thomas Massie, one of two Republicans who publicly supported the speaker's resignation, admitted that the initiative would likely fail on the floor, as House Democrats have already pledged to support Johnson.

The speaker himself had sharply criticized the congresswoman the day before, saying that she did not "prove herself" to be a serious legislator.
After the press conference, Green Johnson called the initiation of the resignation “wrong for the Republican caucus, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country.
