It has come to light that House Democrats are already preparing for former President Donald Trump to win in 2024. However, new report has emerged from the Atlantic that claims that should Donald Trump wins in 2024, House Democrats might not certify the vote.
Daily Caller reported that Senior House Democrats have signaled on Friday that they may not certify the 2024 election results if former President Donald Trump wins, according to The Atlantic.
During oral arguments earlier this month to consider a Colorado ruling finding Trump ineligible for the ballot under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban,” the Supreme Court did not appear persuaded that a single state should be able to remove him, though it is unclear whether the justices will address the eligibility question directly.
Some senior Democrats who previously criticized Republicans for not certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory are now considering the possibility of not certifying a potential victory for former President Donald Trump in 2024. This would only happen if the Supreme Court does not provide a clear ruling on Trump’s eligibility.
The attorney representing Colorado during oral arguments, Jason Murray, suggested to the justices that the issue may arise again in Congress if they do not make a clear determination.
“If this Court concludes that Colorado did not have the authority to exclude President Trump from the presidential ballot on procedural grounds…I think it could come back with a vengeance because, ultimately, members of Congress would — may have to make the — the determination after a presidential election if President Trump wins about whether or not he is disqualified from office and whether to count votes cast for him under the Electoral Count Reform Act,” he said.
