Biden Campaign Blasts New Speaker of the House

The Biden-Harris 2024 committee blasted the new Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson.

Johnson was elected on Wednesday afternoon.

In a statement released on Wednesday night, Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for Biden-Harris 2024 said, “MAGA Mike Johnson’s ascension to the speakership cements the extreme MAGA takeover of the House Republican Conference. Now, Donald Trump has his loyal foot soldier to ban abortion nationwide, lead efforts to deny free and fair election results, gut Social Security and Medicare, and advance the extreme MAGA agenda at the expense of middle-class families.

“22 days before Congress must act to avoid a government shutdown and while our allies overseas at war depend on our help, extreme MAGA House Republicans elevated a man to second-in-line to the presidency who still won’t admit President Biden won the 2020 election. The American people have rejected the extreme MAGA ideology at the ballot box because they understand what’s at stake. And so to every MAGA Republican who supported this choice: We’ll see you in November,” added Moussa.
