House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Monday that the California mayoral race result “stinks to high heaven” as the state’s vote-counting process drags on nearly a week after the primary. President Donald Trump had previously said on social media that the race is “rigged” and called California a “3rd World Nation.” Nearly a week […]
President Donald Trump just received a public assist from House Speaker Mike Johnson in his unsubstantiated claims that California’s elections have been stolen — but Johnson himself admitted that Trump’s claims are “impossible to prove.”“I'm not saying it's rigged,” Johnson told CNN’s Manu Raju on Monday. “I'm saying it stinks to high heaven. And everybody knows that. Let's remove the appearance of impropriety. Let's have, what a concept, let's have votes on an election the day of the election. That's what many states are able to do. I think California is playing around with this.”When Raju asked whether Johnson has any evidence that the election is being rigged, the House Speaker admitted that he does not.“I don't — some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream that it is impossible to prove,” Johnson told Raju. “But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here. And that's a concern. We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system.”Johnson has been accused of controlling the House Republicans rather than serving the traditional presidential role of respecting the balance of power between the executive and legislature. In fact, NOTUS reported on Monday that Trump has so much power over the House, he has joked that he and not Johnson is in fact the real House Speaker.“I have two jobs: being president and being speaker,” Trump once teased Johnson while other lawmakers watched him do it. Trump’s joke refers to Johnson repeatedly going to the president to get potentially defecting Republicans in line behind his agenda, with Johnson himself repeatedly failing to do so.For example, in 2025 Trump reportedly yelled at Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) over the phone until she started crying and walked away, according to what two sources told NOTUS. After she left, Trump continued to rant to the remaining lawmakers who were present for her humiliation.“I have no f—— idea what she just said," Trump told the other members.That incident, according to NOTUS, was merely one of many. Two sources told NOTUS that House members are instructed to check with the White House before proposing legislation. One anonymous House Republican lawmaker told NOTUS that as a result, House Speaker Johnson and the rest of that body’s leaders have failed in their basic legislative duties.This is "a total shirking of responsibilities to the White House,” the source told NOTUS. “Everything has to be preordained and pre-blessed, and there’s very little that we’re able to have our own will on. We should be empowered to pass our own priorities, not just follow what the mandate of the day is.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is echoing President Donald Trump's allegations of fraud in the Los Angeles mayoral race — but admitted Monday he has no evidence to back them up, telling CNN's Manu Raju the claims are "impossible to prove."Trump fired off a Truth Social post Sunday declaring the L.A. results fraudulent. "Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the L.A. runoffs after the big lead he had," Trump wrote. "3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections!"Pratt, the former MTV reality star turned Trump-backed mayoral candidate, led the field in the days after the June 2 primary. But as mail and provisional ballots continued to be counted, progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman (D-Los Angeles) closed the gap and overtook Pratt for the second runoff spot by Sunday, with 83% of the expected vote in. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) has already been projected to advance to the November runoff.Raju pressed Johnson if he had evidence supporting the fraud allegations — but the speaker failed to offer any."I don't — some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream that it is impossible to prove," Johnson said. "But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here."When Raju asked directly whether the election was "rigged, like the president says," Johnson pulled back from the word itself."I'm not saying it's rigged," he said. "I'm saying it stinks to high heaven, and everybody knows that."Johnson instead pointed to California's vote-counting timeline, arguing the state should be able to deliver results on election night the way other states do — and other countries do. "We have entire nations with huge populations like India that can count their votes in 24 to 40 hours," he said.He also used the moment to plug the SAVE America Act, a Republican voting-restrictions bill that would require proof of citizenship and a photo ID to vote. Johnson claimed the measure enjoys more than 90% public support and that 70% of Democrats back it — figures he did not cite sources for.When Raju suggested Republicans were raising fraud claims simply because their candidate lost, Johnson brushed it off. "Every leader of all parties should demand election integrity," he said. "And if somebody is opposing that, you should look at their motives. That's what I'm telling you."
Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt remains optimistic about his chances in the Los Angeles mayoral race despite losing his 40,000-vote lead and second-place position to far-left L.A. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.Critics of California’s delayed vote-counting are raising concerns that the primary election may have been stolen from Pratt, as the process has already dragged on for nearly a week.'Raman has conveniently received a WILDLY disproportionate amount of "late mail-in ballots" compared to both Bass and Pratt.'Pratt’s nearly 10-point advantage over Raman on Election Day slowly shrank in the days following, with Raman eventually taking the lead. As of Monday, Raman is up 3,000 votes, according to the Associated Press.“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let’s git-r-dun!” Pratt wrote in a post on social media on Monday.President Donald Trump chimed in on the latest ballot results, calling it “not possible” for Pratt to have lost to Raman “after the big lead he had.”“3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections!” Trump wrote. “Won’t have results for, possibly, TWO WEEKS, according to officials.”RELATED: Spencer Pratt’s 40,000-vote lead vanishes in Los Angeles mayor race as California continues counting ballots Nithya Raman. Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesPolitical commentator Benny Johnson stated that the recent ballot drops heavily favoring Raman were “statistically impossible.”Conservative activist Robby Starbuck noted that Raman, a third-place candidate, “suddenly” began winning “1st in every new ballot drop.” He shared a graph showing incumbent Karen Bass gaining roughly the same percentage of votes with each new ballot drop while Raman surged. Journalist Nick Sortor declared the election “absolutely RIGGED” and called for authorities to open an investigation.“Raman has conveniently received a WILDLY disproportionate amount of ‘late mail-in ballots’ compared to both Bass and Pratt,” Sortor wrote.RELATED: ‘BIG cheating’: Trump drops bombshell on California for vote-counting delays Spencer Pratt.
