The Congress may delay the confirmation of Trump's victory
The confirmation of the victory of elected President Donald Trump may be delayed, CNN reports. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces opposition from his own allies, which could lead to a postponement of the final confirmation of his victory during the vote.
Although Trump supported Johnson for the position of House Speaker, he is facing opposition within the Republican Party. This could lead to a prolonged political struggle in the legislature, which threatens the party and the certification of Trump's victory.
This is an unprecedented situation for Congress, where the certification of the presidential election cannot be confirmed by the House Speaker. Many Republicans acknowledge that this poses a threat and raises uncertainty about what will happen if Johnson is not present on January 6 - the day Congress is set to confirm Trump's victory.
'The opposition against Johnson is currently weakening the Republican Party and bolstering Hakim Jeffries. It also threatens the certification of the Electoral College, scheduled for January 6. These guys are serving as a 'fifth column' for the Democrats,' said Congressman Don Bacon.
The House of Representatives cannot carry out official business without the Speaker, complicating the possibility of confirming Trump's victory.
