The Wyoming Republican reminded people how Johnson has repeatedly backed Donald Trump's claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney isn’t confident that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) would back a peaceful transfer of power if Vice President Kamala Harris wins this year’s presidential election.
Asked if she believes Johnson would certify a Democratic victory come January, Cheney told NBC News’ Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press” Sunday, “I do not have faith that Mike Johnson will fulfill his constitutional obligations.”
The Wyoming Republican reminded viewers how the House speaker backed Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, despite his election interference claims repeatedly being debunked by multiple sources.
