This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. The President is elected by the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES not the senate in case of a tie:

The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;

The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

It’s in the 12th ammendment. Our house of Reps are solidly republican!!

Might want to actually read the article before accusing the author of not knowing what they are talking about; in this case, the person not knowing what they are talking about is you.

Senate chooses the Vice President in case of the tie.
