It is my understanding that the newly elected House and Senate determine the President and VP in case their isn't a candidate with a majority of the total Electoral votes.

No. The language in the 12th ammendment is “the House of Representatives shall choose immediately...”

However, I may have been incorrect on how the Seantors vote...I think it is one vote for each Senator. Nevertheless, there is still a tie in this case.
