Speaker Johnson slammed for wavering on certifying 2024 election
Raw StorySpeaker of the House Mike Johnson, one of the key figures in House Republicans' attempts to overturn the 2020 election Donald Trump lost, came under fire Tuesday when asked if he will commit to certifying the November election even if Vice President Harris wins. "Mr. Speaker, do you commit to observing regular order in the certification process of the 2024 election, even if Kamala Harris beats Donald Trump?" "Well, of course, if we have a free, fair and safe election, we're going to follow the Constitution absolutely yes, absolutely yes," Speaker Johnson replied. Less than 24 hours earlier, from his official House account on X, Johnson had posted a screenshot of a tweet from Donald Trump claiming Democrats "are getting ready to CHEAT!" Meanwhile, in October of 2022 The New York Times reported, "A majority of House Republicans last year voted to challenge the Electoral College and upend the presidential election."
