Overview
- On NBC’s Meet the Press, Kristen Welker challenged Speaker Mike Johnson after airing a clip of President Trump again calling the 2020 election “rigged.”
- Johnson asserted there were irregularities in 2020 and labeled Georgia “example A,” while saying Republicans are focused on election integrity going forward.
- Welker noted two statewide recounts in Georgia found no evidence of widespread fraud and referenced officials who described 2020 as the most secure election.
- She also cited Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s position that no one has come forward under oath with evidence of fraud in the state.
- Both discussed the recent FBI search at a Fulton County election facility, with Sen. Jon Ossoff warning it signals potential meddling and Johnson describing the probe as necessary to restore public confidence.
