"What's healthy for our country and our democracy is for everyone to be laser-focused on election integrity, Johnson began as Welker interrupted. But, that's not election integrity, Mr. Speaker! This was asked and answered and litigated and re-litigated and the page has been turned and he's still talking about an election that he lost and allegations which is have been deemed false!"
"He is bothered by 2020, and we all know there was a lot of irregularity and problem in that, and we're not going to re-litigate it that's not the point. You are saying there were irregularities. State and federal election officials called 2020 the most secure election in history, Welker countered before pivoting to the recent FBI raid of an election hub in Fulton, Co., GA, that Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) said pointed to Trump trying to meddle in the 2026 midterm elections."
Kristen Welker confronted Mike Johnson with a Davos clip in which President Trump claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged. Welker asked whether it was healthy for democracy for a sitting president to continue questioning the 2020 result five years later. Johnson said focus should be on election integrity and asserted there were irregularities without offering specific evidence. Welker noted state and federal officials called 2020 the most secure election in history and said claims had been litigated and deemed false. The exchange shifted to a Fulton County FBI raid and concerns about potential meddling in 2026. Johnson said the Fulton County probe should restore confidence.
