Michael Johnson was elected the new president of the US House of Representatives, he is known for close to Donald Trump and for Democrats this is one of more extremist Republicans.
The Louisiana representative, 51, served in the state Legislature from 2015 to January 2017 before moving to the federal legislature, where he is vice president of the Republican Conference, the body responsible for electing Republican leadership and approving committee assignments. and developing a communications strategy.
Ultra-conservative evangelical Christianmarried since 1999 and father of four children, defines himself in his Internet as a lawyer who “dedicated his life and career to the fight for fundamental freedoms and traditional values.”
His rise to power in the lower house in succession of fellow Conservative Kevin McCarthyresigned on October 3 after a motion against him brought by radical Matt Gaetz ended the parliamentary chaos that Democrats have called a “circus” since then.
The number two Republican candidate in the lower house was first Steve Scalise and then Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.
The first withdrew his candidacy even before nominating himself at the plenary meeting, realizing that he would not get the necessary votes, and the second – after three unsuccessful attempts.
The last victim was Tom Emmerelected this Tuesday, who four hours later again abandoned his candidacy due to an internal boycott, intensified by Trump’s public criticism of him.
Although the former Republican president did not express explicit support for Johnson, saying he would no longer position himself for either of them, he did congratulate him on the nomination and also after his election.
You will be an excellent speaker and we will be happy to help you. I’ve known him for a long time. He’s an amazing leader. He will make us all proud.
For Democrats, the new “speaker” has become the behind-the-scenes “architect” of what they call Trump’s “big lie.”
Johnson helped spread election conspiracy theories and led an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden.
He was a member of Trump’s legal team when he was impeached.
The Democratic National Committee accuses him of “anti-abortion extremist who has repeatedly supported and co-authored national legislation” against voluntary termination of pregnancy and who has “spent his entire political career trying to deny women reproductive freedom and jail doctors for providing medical care to them.”
Johnson worked for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a group anti LGBT+.
According to Marco Frieri, a representative of the Democrats, this may be the most “MAGA” leader who has ever been in the lower house.
It is an acronym for “Make America Great Again,” a slogan of Trump’s campaign and presidency.
He is part of the former president’s “inner circle” and, according to progressives, “He has no problem using the power of his office to carry out his orders.“initiating, among other things, efforts to cut funding for programs such as Social Security.
His first statement in his new role made his intentions clear: “We will advance a comprehensive conservative policy agenda, combat the Biden administration’s harmful policies, and support our allies abroad. And we will restore sanity to a government that desperately needs it. Let’s get back to work,” he said on X (formerly Twitter). (EFE)
