If he loses the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump will likely lobby House Republicans to refuse to certify the results.
This was not as much of a problem in 2020 when Democrats held the majority of seats, but with Republicans now holding a narrow majority, it could become a legitimate issue.
However, Politico reports that a bipartisan group of House lawmakers have banded together to jointly pledge to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election, and the group so far includes six House Republicans.
This means that, should these six Republicans keep their pledge to certify a win for Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s allies would be unable to block the certification of the election given the current numbers in the House of Representatives.
So six members have pledged to not commit a coup? It’s really good news in these times but also a little depressing.
Lol, yeah. The bar is exceedingly low these days, but I’ll take it as good news for sure.
Do we have any signs/proof they’ll actually keep their word or (puts tin foil hat on) is this a ploy to make dems feel a bit at ease in the hopes some stay home and not vote. Causing the margin to be razer thin and for their plan to not certify go full force.
