Trump faces new Jan 6 crisis

Forget about storming the Capitol.
Republicans are ready to block Trumps certification

Republicans fear Speaker battle means they "can't certify the election"

Some Republicans are urging President-elect Donald Trump to reaffirm his support for Speaker Mike Johnson.

The first vote of the new House, when lawmakers are sworn in on January 3, is on electing a speaker. Then, on January 6, the House will meet to certify the results of the 2024 election.

Republicans elected Johnson as House Speaker in October 2023 after they were unable to agree on a replacement for three weeks after ousting the last speaker, Kevin McCarthy.

But Johnson is now facing a rebellion from House Republicans over his handling of government funding. The GOP's slim majority in the lower chamber means Johnson can afford few defections if he wants to keep his hold on the gavel.

Representative Carlos Gimenez, a Florida Republican, told Fox News Digital: "If we have some kind of protracted fight where we can't elect a speaker—the speaker's not elected; we're not sworn in. And if we're not sworn in, we can't certify the election."

Representative Claudia Tenney, a New York Republican, told the outlet: "To ensure President Trump can take office and hit the ground running on January 20, we must be able to certify the 2024 election on January 6. However, without a speaker, we cannot complete this process."

They're not going to last very much longer if they pull crap like that.
They have a couple days. Get it done!

Of course, you want it to happen.

Hold onto that, it might make things easier when the voices get too loud.

Certainly OP opposes this obvious violation of the Constitution, correct?

It is extremely important to hook Mike Johnson ASAP.

If that stalls the certification, let it. Mike has to go.

Trump is an absolute moron for supporting him.


Mike Johnson still remains one of the few suspects who KNEW that Trump would be golfing at the time of the second assassination attempt. Did Mike leak Trump's location to the assassin?

THAT's WHAT EMH BELIEVES....

Trump would pay the price.

I know! Let's put Gaetz in there!

The Speaker must win a majority in the House. Gaetz would be great but he'd only get 5 votes.

I'd be willing to try Musk.

But you are against any violations of the Constitution, right? Anyone who violates the Constitution is an insurrectionist and should be in prison, right?

Gaetz knows The House inside and out, though.

Those straws. Keep grasping at them.

If Republicans cannot unite behind a Speaker, maybe Democrats can help them out.

They can throw some votes to Mike Johnson so that Trump can be certified on Jan 6
