Rep. Paul Gosar on Friday joined two other House Republicans in supporting GOP Speaker Mike Johnson’s ouster.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion last month to vacate the speaker’s chair, and so far two other GOP lawmakers have joined the effort.
Rep. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, was the second member and Gosar, of Arizona, is now the third.
Gosar’s announcement was made as more Democrats voted in favor of a Johnson-backed foreign aid package including Ukraine and Israel funding.
Johnson has advanced the measure amid threats of being ousted.
