Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has failed in her effort to remove Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
She had demanded Mr Johnson be kicked out due to his support for a $61bn aid package for Ukraine.
However, Democrats joined Republicans in a 359-43 vote to kill her motion.
Ms Greene's speech on the House floor was met by loud boos from other members of the chamber.
