Jon Stewart: Harris overseeing Trump win certification ‘like attending your own funeral’
The Hill ^ | 01/07/2025 | TheHill.com

Jon Stewart says Vice President Harris overseeing President-elect Trump’s electoral victory as a tally of states was read on the House floor on Monday had a funereal feeling to it.

Harris presided over a joint session of Congress as the election’s certification was confirmed.

“The ultimate indignity of this Jan. 6 is that Donald Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, because she is the vice president, serves as the master of ceremonies,” said Stewart as he hosted “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central Monday evening.

“Poor baby,” Stewart whispered.

“But it does suck,” the comedian added, before playing a clip of Republicans in the chamber cheering when Harris announced that Trump’s election win had been certified.

“That’s got to sting,” Stewart said.

And Democrats cheered when they read the number of electoral votes for Kamala and Tim.

So what is his point?

I hope it brings her massive, lasting pain.

Heels Up will be fine. She’ll get a book deal with millions in advance and a ghost writer who will do the work. The book will be on the NY Slimes best seller list for a month or so, the publisher will force book store companies to buy thousands of units so they say it’s a record setting book.

The left would have been cackling along with Kamala if the she had won. If somehow the reverse was happening they would have said the irony is delicious. Suck it up right wingers and all that. All that would be legit and acceptable to the left. Their entire world view is a one way street. Double standards and all.

In the case of Gore and Nixon at least they can say, they lose extremely close elections, Kamala got her ass kicked and ran one of the most idiotic campaigns of all time.

Dragging Liz Cheney around to campaign appearances is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen from a Presidential candidate.

That’s one thing that Jon Stewart said that I agree with.

” Harris overseeing Trump win certification ‘like attending your own funeral’”

Your own funeral where everyone is celebrating your death.

because she is the vice president

It's because she is the President of the Senate. Nixon did it in 1961. Mondale did it in 1981. Dan Quayle did it in 1993. Al Gore did it in 2001. Dick Cheney did it in 2009. Joe Biden did it in 2017.

Gore kept fighting his loss all the way to SCOTUS, after accepting then withdrawing his concession to Bush.
Nixon as VP lost to JFK in 1960, but then won in 68 and then won 49 states in a massive landslide in 72 with 60.7% of the popular vote and 520 out of 538 electoral votes losing only Massachusetts.

Great fun watching Kamala have to announce the winners.

But I think they should change it. If you’re in the election contest you should not be presiding over the results.
