There is no “good” time to remove Mike Johnson from the Speakership. His supporters will use the same excuse after the election that they used before the election. Fear of turning the house over to the Democrats. Fear. Politicians love using fear to bludgeon the electorate. It’s very effective.
Johnson’s supporters on this site were saying the same thing about McCarthy. They said that removing McCarthy would lead to Hakeem Jeffries being Speaker. They were wrong.

They were wrong then, but they may be right later. If Massie and Greene do oust Johnson as they want to - that leaves Jeffries to pick up the pieces.
That’s why Trump has to support Johnson. Jeffries could get his insurrection charges passed and end Trump’s chances.
