Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., told Newsmax Wednesday that House Republicans “need to move forward” with Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., as their speaker because current events demand that the United States has a functioning government.
Republicans picked Johnson as their latest House speaker nominee Tuesday night just hours after Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., bowed out of the race in the face of opposition from former President Donald Trump. “I think that when it all gets broken down, I think you’re going to see that there are factions in this party that were hurting each other and people are going to know the truth when it comes out eventually,” she said. “This was a huge eye-opener — the last three weeks — for me, especially the last week, when I saw what was really going on, and I think that’s why I feel so confident about the future. This is how, as Mike put it, democracy works.
“We’re here today and a lot was sorted out in these last three weeks, which I think is good for us and good for America because we got to see what’s really going on in our structure, in what’s happening,” Tenney said. “As we lead the House with a very narrow majority, I think Mike is going to take us into the future. Also, we can get fixated on things like this, where some parts of the media look for shiny objects.
