House Democrat says her vote against Johnson was result of his 2020 election challenge

Published May 11, 2024 8:00pm ET



Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA) explained that her vote in favor of the motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was an effort to prevent him from interfering with the 2024 election.

Williams was one of 32 Democrats and 10 other Republicans who sided with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in an effort to oust Johnson. She appeared Saturday on PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton to explain that she voted in anticipation that Johnson could reject the 2024 election results.
