It Would Be Tough to Overturn the 2024 Election

“New House Speaker Mike Johnson has joined his conservative Republican colleagues in voting against abortion and same-sex marriage, but has drawn the most attention for his efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat,” Reuters reports.

“His new role gives him huge clout steering the chamber, and a seat at the table with Democratic President Joe Biden and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer in negotiating bills of all kinds. But after action Congress took last year he’ll have little ability to interfere with the 2024 presidential election, unless he refused to follow the law.”
