“Everyone needs to calm down,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said in response to a question about election certification, adding there was too much “emotion” and “misinformation.”
when asked EWTN News Reporter Mark Irons Prime Minister Boris Johnson responded, “Of course,” as long as whoever wins plays a role in certifying the election results.
“We have a free and fair election and we are going to abide by the Constitution, and that is what I have always sworn to do for the rest of my life,” Johnson said.
Johnson's reassurance comes as former President Trump played a key role in challenging President Biden's victory in the 2020 election and questioning what the speaker would do this election cycle. It was done. Johnson not only supported the former president, but also crafted a legal case to challenge Trump's loss, arguing that some states changed voting rules during the coronavirus pandemic that were unconstitutional. This argument was adopted by many Republicans on Capitol Hill.
“All the hyperbole and insanity of, 'Oh, they're trying to roll back the election.' None of that is true,” Johnson added, referring to Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden. Claiming that the media was “outraged” by the “secret”, Mr Johnson said it was an effort to get votes. , it's not an “ulterior motive”.
“There's too much emotion and too much misinformation. Everyone needs to calm down,” Johnson said. He encouraged people to “do their civic duty” and hold an “American election” that would then be certified.
Johnson added that he believed the election was “too big to rig” and expressed confidence in Trump's second term and a Republican-controlled Congress.
“I'm excited because I think President Trump is going to win today and I think he's going to win the Senate and the House,” Johnson said.
