<p>On Sunday morning, hours before President Joe Biden announced he was removing himself as the Democratic nominee for president, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declared that it simply didn’t matter who the nominee would be during an interview with ABC News&#8217;s Martha Raddatz on &#8220;This Week.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I know the Democrats are in total disarray and I know the Republican Party is united like never before,” Johnson stated. “So, we’re looking forward to November in this election cycle. It’s going to be an interesting time for the American people.”</p>
<p>“From our perspective, Martha, it doesn’t matter who they put at the top of the ticket,” he continued. “If Kamala is the nominee, so be it. She is the co-author and the co-owner of the policies of the Biden administration and she owns all these policy failures herself.”</p>
<p>“So, we look forward to a vigorous debate about those policies and about the two competing visions for America and I think the American people will side with the Republican Party. That’s what the demographic moves are showing. There &#8212; there’s a record number of Hispanic and Latino voters, a record number of Black and African-American voters coming into the Republican Party. The Jewish community is more energized than I’ve ever seen, a segment of a population, because they feel like Joe Biden and the Democrats have abandoned Israel, and in so many ways they have,” he asserted.</p>
<p>“How would the GOP approach this race given a different way if the nominee does end up being Vice President Kamala Harris?” Raddatz asked.</p>
<p>“The interesting thing about this dynamic, whether it’s Biden or Harris, is that both of these persons have held office,” Johnson pointed out. “We had a Trump administration. We had a Biden-Harris administration, and people can compare the two. Put the campaign rhetoric aside, how are you and your family doing after the first two years of the Trump administration, for example, and the first few years of the Biden administration? It’s no contest. And everybody knows that, and I think that’s why we’re in such good position.”</p>
