Great, now we have an election denier two heartbeats away from the presidency. Ugh. 🙄🤦🏻♂️
“It's a stunning rise for the conservative Donald Trump ally and low-ranking member of the GOP leadership team who is now second in line to the presidency. Johnson is arguably the most ideologically conservative person to serve as speaker since Newt Gingrich in the 1990s, and he played an instrumental role in the GOP's effort to overturn the 2020 election.”

@GuyNamedBrian hey, just remember, there are serious arguments that the federal law specifying the Speaker as second in line is unconstitutional as Speakers aren't members of the Cabinet!
So instead of having Johnson as president we'd just have utter chaos as THAT argument is dealt with.
