Washington DC – Washington Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González foresees no change of leadership in the Republican caucus of the United States House of Representatives, to which she belongs and which clearly voted to reverse the democratic result of the November 3 election .
González was one of 11 Republicans who spoke out for the impeachment of now-former President Donald Trump. Ten House Republicans backed the impeachment charge against Trump.
Having no vote in that process, González advocated in public statements last week that the now-former chief executive be removed from office before his term of office ended.
“Without evidence one cannot undermine the election results … President Biden has legitimately won”González said in an interview with The new day.
House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (California) was one of Trump’s most loyal defenders as president.
Even after the attack on Congress, which killed five and disrupted the constitutional process of electoral college votes, McCarthy voted to cancel the Pennsylvania and Arizona votes.
“Kevin had to manage a delegation that bought (Trump’s) message,” said Gonzalez, who believes that after Republicans win more seats in the lower house, McCarthy’s future as a minority leader is not in danger.
Two-thirds of House Republicans supported the rollback of the November 3 election results, including McCarthy.
The commissioner insisted that she spent the past four years trying to “ maximize ” her relationship with President Trump, who was directing the fate of the United States at a time when Puerto Rico faced two powerful hurricanes, earthquakes and a coronavirus pandemic. in the midst of a fiscal crisis.
He wanted to emphasize that despite Trump’s clear disdain for Puerto Rico, the now-former president signed the laws that, following the island’s worst disaster in a century, Congress sought to reduce the damage caused mainly by Hurricane María in September 2017. .
Following the congressional attack on Epiphany, carried out by followers who himself encouraged Trump to hold federal lawmakers to account, the commissioner said she will never support the former president of the United States again and that he is found guilty of inciting the insurgency. .
Trump will face impeachment in the United States Senate on charges of instigating insurgency. The process could allow the Senate to ban him from running for president again.
