Lawmakers voted 359-43 to table the motion, effectively killing the measure before it could be brought to the floor for a final vote. The motion succeeded after 163 Democrats joined nearly all Republicans in tabling the bill.
Only 11 Republicans voted against tabling the bill. Seven Democrats voted present.
After the vote, Johnson said:
"I want to say that I appreciate the show of confidence from my colleagues. I'm glad that this distraction is not going to inhibit [our] important work and all the other things that are on the table, on the agenda for us right now. Hopefully this is the end of the personality politics and the frivolous character assassination that has defined the 118th Congress."Greene noticed her motion to vacate on Wednesday evening, over one month after she initially filed it on the House floor.
