Top Democrats have no plans to object to the certification of President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory on Jan. 6, 2025.
They also anticipate that Vice President Kamala Harris will lead the joint session of Congress to count Trump’s presidential electors precisely the way her predecessors have, taking no active role in the proceedings and tallying the results certified by the states. The result: a quick and simple transfer of power that will culminate on Jan. 20 when Trump takes the oath of office,” Politico reported after speaking with several top Republicans and Democrats.
“I think you’re going to have a pretty sort of normal transfer, and I think we will respect the wishes of the American people … in contrast to what happened January 6, 2021,” said Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House committee tasked with overseeing elections. “I do feel like that’s worth saying over and over again.”
One problem could happen, and it has to do with Republicans.
Since last week’s spending bill mess, conservatives have said they don’t think Mike Johnson should still be speaker.
