Top congressional Democrats told Axios on Thursday they would not commit to certifying the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump wins.
The failure to commit to certifying the election would prove many members to be hypocrites, including House Oversight Committee ranking member and former January 6 committee member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who told Axios that he is unsure if he’ll certify a Trump win.
Raskin denied Trump won the 2016 election when he objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.
If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin said, assuming the election was free, fair and honest. “I definitely don’t assume that,” he added. “Democrats don’t engage in election fraud and election fabrication.”
A video surfaced in September of a panel discussion in February 2024 in which Raskin speculated that Congress would invalidate a Trump election victory, even though it could be at the risk of “civil war.”
House Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-MA) also told Axios that Democrats would only certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to … We have to see how it all happens.” McGovern also objected to Trump’s electors in 2017.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who objected to George W. Bush’s victory in 2005, said she did not “know what kind of shenanigans he [Trump] is planning … We would have to, in any election … make sure that all the rules have been followed.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has not yet answered if she would support certifying a Trump victory..

Sounds like insurrection.
So, it’s the Democrats who will not accept the results of the 2024 election. That is not what the MSM has been telling us.
Well. I guess they aren’t interested in saving democracy after all.
PUKE!
Jamie Jackwipe-skin is my “rep”. Every time I see anyone telling me to “cally Congressman”, I want to throw up!
Rasputin.
Seems like this could be a conflict of interest where the deciding vote (e.g. the VP) is the candidate.
Rat boy would be the first casualty.
Raskin is certInly one of the worst of the worst, and that is saying something.
Sounds kind of insurrectiony to me.

Trying to coerce the voters to skip voting for Trump because the left is just going to deny his election, were Trump to win on Election Day.
ELECTION DENYING. Isn’t THAT a BAD thing? Didn’t they charge Trump with 692 FELONIES and HUNDREDS of years in jail for DARING to deny the election results?
Didn’t Guliani just get DISBARRED and have to pay 148 MILLION dollars for DENYING the results of the election?
And didn’t Joe Biden just lecture us that it is a BAD thing to DARE to question the government over the hurricane response?
Raskin and Goldman and others better be careful.
The Congress trash need to stop playing with fire.
Sweetest sentence I have read in a long time.

Trump needs a margin of +8% minimum to overcome the steal attempt.
