Diana DeGette (D-CO) released the following statement after House Republicans finally elected a Speaker of the House:\n\n\u201cInstead of embracing bipartisanship, House Republicans have elevated an extremist.\n\n\u201cMike Johnson helped lead the Big Lie which drove insurrectionists to attack our Capitol on January 6.

He has also repeatedly worked to end abortion rights, going as far as to declare that doctors should be imprisoned and given hard labor and saying specifically \u2018We will get the number of abortions to ZERO.\u2019\n\n\u201cThe bottom line is this: Speaker Johnson\u2019s record is fundamentally out of step with the American people. I hope he will put the good of all Americans over House Republicans\u2019 extreme agenda so we can address the urgent challenges facing our nation.\u201d\n\nToday\u2019s vote comes after 22 days of gridlock and dysfunction in the House Republican Conference.\n\nMike Johnson\u2019s extreme record includes:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://degette.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/degette-statement-election-speaker-johnson"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4891456812620163, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
