I *think* this was to Mike Johnson and, if so, he's signaling that Republicans will try to do the thing that keeps me up at night: screw around with the Electoral College votes so that the House itself votes on the president instead. Each state gets one vote. Trump wins with 26.
[Quoted tweet]
Trump: I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the house, our little secret is having a big impact, he and I have a little secret, we will tell you what it is when the race is over

This is known as the Contingent Election of the President and was—although many people still don't fully realize it—part of the goal behind January 6th.
Was just texting with my buddies about this last week. Spoke about on a recent podcast, too.

This scenario depends on a few things, but most especially on who controls the House. So if you're freaked out about this possibility, visit
When We Fight, We Win
and volunteer to help elect Dems up and down the ballot.
You can help out a lot in 8 days.

On January 6, 2025, all signs point to a Democratic House and a Democratic Speaker. Mike Johnson’s last day as speaker would be January 5. The new Congress would handle the counting of votes.

If they try it, Biden needs to arrest them for treason with his immunity powers.

Only if neither candidate reaches 270. I think Harris will easily surpass that.

Mike Johnson will try but he can’t stop the election from being certified.
[Quoted tweet]
Trump is saying MAGA Mike will refuse to certify the election. This is not optional and Harris’ legal team is prepared for whatever shenanigans Trump tries.

To all decent voters in FL, WI, PA, MI, AZ, NV, TX or anywhere else that isn't a traditional blue state: If this horrifies you, you can stop it by voting for Harris. Even if you're not sure about her, you at least will have an opportunity to try again if it doesn't work out
