Biden reacts to Mike Johnson's election to speaker of the house

President Joe Biden said he is not worried that newly-elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson could try to overthrow future election results.

Republicans eagerly elected Rep. Mike Johnson as House speaker on Wednesday, elevating a deeply conservative but lesser-known leader to the seat of U.S. power and ending for now the political chaos in their majority.

Johnson, of Louisiana, swept through on the first ballot with support from all Republicans anxious to put the past weeks of tumult behind and get on with the business of governing. He was expected to quickly be sworn into office.

A lower-ranked member of the House GOP leadership team, Johnson emerged as the fourth Republican nominee in what has become an almost absurd cycle of political infighting since Kevin McCarthy's ouster as GOP factions jockey for power. While not the party's top choice for the gavel, the deeply religious and even-keeled Johnson has few foes and an important GOP backer: Donald Trump.

“I think he’s gonna be a fantastic speaker,” Trump said Wednesday at the New York courthouse where the former president, who is now the Republican front-runner for president in 2024, is on trial over a lawsuit alleging business fraud.

Trump said he hadn't heard “one negative comment about him. Everybody likes him.”

Those 60 Lawsuits were never brought to trail because the judges were too afraid to here the case and dismissed them on Standing.

[SanchoDomingo_]

Biden meant to say “NO…. I know the Clinton’s and the Obamas will take care of it for me, by any means necessary.” 🤡

"I understand the constitution" 😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious

[Life_isGreat]

He understands his 10 for the big guy, that's it.

[phillmckrakin]

Surprised joe didn't go run off the stage with 💩 pants again. Lol " i understand the constitution" he doesn't understand where he is!

[paaja]

Every single election has been challenged
There’s no way he got 80million votes we all can agree on that

[judylopez]

Don’t worry about Johnson ! His strength come from the Lord!!! Keep your eyes focused on the Lord Johnson!!!

[lewisboyd]

My understanding was 3 out off 60 lawsuits regarding the election made it to trial and did very well.

[muddymo]

And of course, he's being perfectly clear. That will be said several times in the next so-called press briefing

[TheJaggedCarpet]

“I understand the constitution” he says while actively going against it multiple times.

[wgpdiyp]

THE MEDIS IS ALL GOING STRAIGHT TO HE'LL

[davidtaliaferro]

Joe raised his right leg and gave out a tremendous fart to show his love for the new Speaker. Just kidding. It was his left leg.

[pelicanbird]

He ALMOST told the truth - “Because he can’t…” What are you planning, Joe?

[nomalangak]

Very talented man, campaigned in the basement, empty car lots and had the lowest turnout in his events and still got the highest votes. I wonder what Hillary meant when she said “ why didn’t they do that for me”? 🙄

"I understand the constitution" while having trump indicted for free speech

[gemcutter]

Biden can barely remember where he is at any given time. Quit giving him such hard questions!

[Franklin-dkfr]

18 of 19 bellwether counties and 74 million votes. The Truth has lost.

[zuckfacegobbels]

Finally we HAVE a BIG JOHNSON in the HOUSE!
