"Cheney Counters Johnson's Election Claims as He Continues to Question Biden's Victory"

House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed claims of being an election denier as "nonsense" but did not explicitly acknowledge Biden's victory in the 2020 election, citing constitutional violations during the election process. Despite supporting a lawsuit to overturn the election results, Johnson recognizes Biden as the current president and works with him, referring to the election issues as "water under the bridge." Former Rep. Liz Cheney criticized Johnson in her book for his role in challenging the election results, which Johnson found surprising, claiming Cheney had once considered supporting the effort.
