Rep. Taylor Marjorie Greene (R-GA) has publicly endorsed former President Donald J. Trump as her candidate for Speaker of the House.
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted 216-210 to remove McCarthy, making him the shortest-serving Speaker since 1876.
The vote was spearheaded by Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and saw a few conservatives joining Democrats in the unprecedented action. Among the Republicans voting for the removal were Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ken Buck of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eli Crane of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Matt Rosendale of Montana.
Greene, a staunch supporter of Trump, outlined a comprehensive list of reasons for her endorsement, emphasizing Trump’s previous four-year record as President and his potential to bring transformative changes to the country.
“The only candidate for Speaker I am currently supporting is President Donald J. Trump,” Greene announced on Tuesday following McCarthy’s removal.
She went on to list a series of ambitious goals she believes Trump will achieve if elected as Speaker:
*End the war in Ukraine: Greene asserts that Trump has the diplomatic skills to bring an end to the ongoing conflict.
*Secure the border: A cornerstone of Trump’s previous administration, Greene believes he will finally achieve this long-standing goal.
*End the politically weaponized government: Greene accuses the current administration of using governmental power for political ends and believes Trump will put a stop to it.
*Make America energy independent again: Greene supports Trump’s previous efforts to make the U.S. less reliant on foreign energy.
*Pass legislation to stop transgender surgeries on kids and keep men out of women’s sports: A controversial point, but one that Greene firmly stands by.
*Support our military and police: Greene emphasizes Trump’s commitment to law enforcement and national defense.
And more
Greene emphasized Trump’s “proven 4-year record as President of the United States of America,” citing it as a compelling reason for her endorsement.
She also highlighted that Trump received a record number of Republican votes of any Republican Presidential candidate, signaling his widespread popularity within the party.
According to Greene, not only can Trump be made Speaker, but he can also be re-elected as President. “We can make him Speaker and then elect him President! He will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” she concluded.
MTG isn’t the only legislator advocating for Trump to assume the role of Speaker of the House. The Gateway Pundit reported that Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX) took to Twitter to declare his intention to nominate former President Donald J. Trump for the position.
“Kevin McCarthy will NOT be running again as Speaker. I nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.”
Kevin McCarthy will NOT be running again as Speaker.
I nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.

MTG didn’t vote for McCarthy getting shown the door. She’s a loudmouth looking for a place in the next administration. I stopped listening to her long ago.
“MTG didn’t vote for McCarthy getting shown the door. She’s a loudmouth looking for a place in the next administration. I stopped listening to her long ago.”
Exactly right. and she backed McCarthy’s placement as speaker. She is just back tracking for show to try and appease the Trump voters. She knows mass TDS on both sides will not let Trump be elected speaker.
Would have been fun
It’s not an original idea. While I like the notion of making Democrats and Never Trumpers throwing fits, it is not realistic. How does Trump campaign and perform speaker duties? Add to that, Trump has all these legal matters to attend.
Yewp. She’all needs to shet her pah-hole and let serious people run things for a while.
She doesn’t get to pick, she was not one of the 8.
If anyone could do it, Trump could. Do it up until January inauguration day.
It’s one way to get another democrat president it’s an insane idea.
Someone made a very good point. If Trump is required to do EVERYTHING the country is already doomed. Someone needs to step up, Someone willing to help save thw country. Trump has his role, who else will be counted?
She was quite integral in the battle to pull Ukraine funding. She’s actually a good fighter and willing to go to the wall for things. She wouldn’t be a bad choice. There have been so many left wing crazies, I wouldn’t mind seeing a right wing “crazy” take a go at it
But, then who would be a good Speaker?
That should must a priority for anyone that becomes Speaker.
Worrying about another Biden term or Democrat in office is the least of our worries if Republicans are dedicated to ending the corruption of our criminal justice system.
It won’t be Trump, not that I don’t wish it would be, it’s just not realistic.
One thing I do know: They better be careful who they pick and watch out for those RINOs - it’s a real danger that Pelosi could be back; all she needs is a few RINOs to get a majority.
Trump is too smart for that-
remember 202 lefty Dems included AOC, The Squad , the 202 lefty Dems congressman who voted McCarthy out, thats 95% of all Dem and they all voted to impeach Trump-
Dems just won, they play the long game, winning,
we act like high school kids with a grudge -we will lose
Trump knows nothing about parliamentary procedure. They will run circles round him.
Trump doesn’t even want to be speaker, this is just foolishness.
The MSM would have to cover him more. They can ignore his rallies today. As speaker? The cowardly part of their bias would work agains them.
Reporter: Would you take the job?
Trump: a lot of people have been asking me about it but we’re leading, I don’t know if you read the papers much, but we’re leading (The GOP Presidential primary) by 50 points. My focus is totally on the being president. If I can help them during the process, I would do it.
