Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massive together brought a motion to the House floor to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from office.  However, a considerable number of Democrats joined Republicans in a 359-43 vote to table the motion and protect Johnson’s speakership.

Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) aligned with MTG and Massie.  Eight republicans including Andy Biggs, Chip Roy, Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.), Barry Moore (R-Ala.) and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) all voted to remove Johnson and create an unknown outcome, perhaps even a democrat speakership.

After the failed effort to remove him, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to the media. WATCH:

I do not see any way this effort to remove Mike Johnson would benefit candidate Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, or the semi-supportive/passive-aggressive republican party that genuine MAGA has to contend with.

It also seems strange that many Democrats did not relish supporting the stupid effort and making a mess out of congress in an election year.  Factually, the only beneficiaries of this chaos scenario, a scenario that could have resulted in legislation to block Trump from office, would be democrats and perhaps Ron DeSantis or RFK Jr.  {BACKGROUND}
