House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faced a question about his Christian faith on Wednesday.
"Do you believe that Joe Biden's presidency is God's will?" a reporter asked at a GOP leadership news conference.
"Oh, I know where you're going with this," Johnson laughed. "Okay. So I said in my speech before I took the gavel that look, I'm — I'm a Bible-believing Christian, right? Bible-believing Christian believes what the Bible says, right? The Bible says that God is the one that raises up people in authority. I believe God is sovereign."
Johnson said he believed "everybody's the same" to his god.

"We all are given equal rights and value, and that's something that we defend," he remarked. "So if you believe all those things, then you believe that God is the one that allows people to be raised in authority. It must have been God's will then."
"That's my belief, right?" Johnson added. "But I think that a nation makes a decision collectively because we're given the free will to do that. And I think we're going to make a much better choice as a country coming up in this election cycle."
