First, Johnson laughed, saying, “Oh, I know where you’re going with this.” His eventual answer was that it was — but he led with a caveat:
Okay, so, I said in my speech before I took the gavel that, look, 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. By the way, so did the founders. I quoted the Declaration of Independence. They acknowledged that our rights don’t come from government, they come from God and were made in His image. Everybody’s made the same. We all are given equal rights and value, and that’s something that we defend.
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?
So, that’s a “yes,” Johnson believes that Biden’s election was God’s will just as much as his was.
