Christina Bobb, an attorney who has supported Donald Trump's legal challenge to overturn the 2020 election, has suggested a scenario in which the former president could be reinstated after the midterm elections in November.
Bobb told the conservative news outlet the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) what she thought could happen in states in which there was "evidence that Joe Biden cheated" in the election Trump and his allies have continuously claimed was fraudulent.
"They could withdraw their electors, or they could actually decide to award Trump electors, although I would anticipate they will probably just withdraw the electors," she said.
"If that happens from three different states, three different resolutions go into Congress," she said it would then be up to Congress to decide "whether they want to accept the resolutions, whether they want to act on them or not."

How many Republican Members of Congress would vote for Trump as Speaker? 10?
“She’s a DNC plant...”
She’s not. Has been with Trump years. Was with OAN.
She now works at DHS and is leaving OAN
That shows one of two (or both!) things:
1. Trump’s organization & OAN hired a poor lawyer. (In both cases probably hired via connections.),
2. Modern legal education doesn’t!
He was going to be renominated on his birthday. When Gene McCarthy had such a strong showing in the NH primary he realized he couldn’t just waltz to the nomination, let alone win the general. That’s what convinced him to drop out.
He would have barely lived out his term. (died Jan 22, 1973).
Did you read the quotes in the article?
Some KRACKEN! Finally...
I did and I admit it made zero sense. Withdraw the electors based on what? Claims of fraud? The other side says there was no fraud. Who decides there was fraud. The legislature? Dinesh D'Souza? The courts? If it's the court then charges of fraud need to be taken to them, people charged, and convictions obtained. To date in spite of all the claims of fraud, all the movies, all the accusations, not a single person has been charged with any criminal activity. Until that happens and the courts finally rule that the fraud occurred then all this talk about overturning election results is idiotic.
It’s delusional crap like this that makes the moderates want to just be done with Trump. And without the middle, say hello to President Butt Boy.
What constitutional mechanism allows for this? Unfortunately, the 2020 election has been certified by the states and by Congress. I have never seen any provision for decertifying it.
Those electors shoudl veh been challenged on the grounds that they were chosen in a mannere other than that determined by the state Legislatures, which is contrary to the sxpecific wording of the Constitution.
Agree!
Ha, you made me just think of something. How much you wanna bet that in 2024, the democrats will make the claim that Trump DID win in 2020, and that his term would therefore be over?
Before anything happens we need 5 more similar rulings by state Supreme Courts.
I don’t see that happening in Arizona, Georgia or Pennsylvania!
He tried to, but he withdrew after the New Hampshire primary, which he actually won. But Gene McCarthy's showing was strong enough that LBJ was a yugely damaged candidate.
Afer that primary, he amde the famous announcement that "I have decided that I will not seek, nor will I a ccept, the nomination of my paarty for another term as your president."
Almost before he was finished making that speech, Vice President Humphrey hopped into the race. Nixon barely beat Humphrey in November. George Wallace scooped up some electoral votes too, carrying all but one of the Goldwater states.
Dinesh decides? Really? That's your take from the quotes in the article?
The lawyer describes the process as needing "many, many elected officials to take action" and the "majority of three different legislators."
And again, this is all what should happen. The lawyer never said that this "will" happen which is what the triggered title readers on this thread believe the lawyer said.
“legislators” -—> legislatures.
There is a “scenario” for practically everything. There is also a probability the scenario will play out. I place this one in the 5 percent or lower range.
I would put the odds somewhere between zilch point sh*t and none.
I have no idea, although given a large enough, and sufficiently pro-Trump, mid-term route there may be a fair number who’d consider it. Under anything like normal conditions it would ge hard to get any votes for any non-member. But its been oft mentioned for years that the Speaker isn’t required to be a member. So that scenario has the one virtue in that it likely is constitutional and thus could happen if the votes were there. They aren’t there. The Bopp scenario is questionable constitutionally. Members would have to be convinced it was legal first and then convinced to vote for it. Not that John Eastman’s interpretation of the 12th, much maligned out of hand by the left and RINOs, is unreasonable. It makes more sense than the mere law, written to justify Hays beating Tilden, at which the left points.
Good grief. The kookin’ never ends.
