Will Kamala commit to certifying a Trump win?

Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney, Jamie Raskin, Marc Elias - you couldn't come up with a cast of lawfare corrupniks more sinister than this bunch. And I would not bet a dime that they would follow the law. Worrying about a free and fair election is one thing. But when Trump wins, will these insane leftists let him be sworn in?

[Da Coyote]

No matter who wins, methinks there’s going to be trouble.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I hope she doesn’t. It will show how utterly hypocritical the Dems are.

[Frank Drebin]

The election will be certified.

[BobL]

“Will Kamala commit to certifying a Trump win?”

If she wants to save Democracy, then there’s no way she could certify a Trump victory.

...or something like that.

[rktman]

Telecon with pence?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

There is about half of me that thinks that Kamala doesn’t really want to be president…like the Mooch.

I think she wants the money…and I’m sure the deal included lots and lots of inflated dollars…and the fame that will bring more Money for Nothing.

So I guess about half of me thinks that, yeah, she’ll do the required formality. The Democrats want chaos on their terms, not otherwise. They’ll go long game.

Kam will just laugh off Trump’s victory and do something else that is fun.

This ONE act - that of certifying the election of whomever - is the reason that sleepy JOE has not been removed as president. If he were removed, Speaker moves up to this position with this task.

[ohioman]

This might be a fight that needs to happen as there is no such thing as peaceful coexistence with the modern-day left.

[smokingfrog]

Seems like a conflict of interest.
Has this ever happened before?

[TheThirdRuffian]

Sure plenty of VPs failed to get elected.

More than that won, in fact.

[gundog]

Gore had to certify GWB. Made Maxine mad, but....

[Vaduz]

when Trump wins, will these insane leftists let him be sworn in?

They are seeing their power being taken from them karma ensues.

“This ONE act - that of certifying the election of whomever - is the reason that sleepy JOE has not been removed as president. If he were removed, Speaker moves up to this position with this task.”

An excellent point.

[SharpRightTurn]

“Has this ever happened before?”

I’m not sure; I haven’t done any research on it.

“This ONE act - that of certifying the election of whomever - is the reason that sleepy JOE has not been removed as president. If he were removed, Speaker moves up to this position with this task.”

No.

The president nominates a new Vice President.

[Vermont Lt]

The VP oversees the session where the ballots are cast. They don’t “certify” anything.

This is a point that some people fail to understand. They didn’t understand it before 1/6, and they don’t seem to understand it now.

[al_c]

Likely not. At least at first. And then they’ll start drawing up articles of impeachment.

[Jim Noble]

The Vice President (as President of the Senate) does not certify anything.
