https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/donald-trump-mike-johnson-little-secret-2024-electionThe former president told the MAGA faithful at MSG that he and the House Speaker, a close ally who supported his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, had a secret that would help Republicans do really well.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters at New Yorks Madison Square Garden on Sunday, former president Donald Trump alluded to a secret plan that he said would help Republicans do really well in the House of Representatives.
Some journalists and politicians have interpreted Trumps off-the-cuff remarks, delivered as he thanked House Speaker Mike Johnson for appearing at the MSG event, as a possible signal that Johnson is prepared to override the electoral college, should Vice President Kamala Harris win. I suspect Donald Trumps little secret plan with Mike Johnson is a backup plan for when he loses, Rep. Dan Goldman said on CNN.
Trump and Johnson have become close political allies, though the Louisiana congressman was not House Speaker under Trump. The two men reportedly speak often, and Johnson recently said that Trump fully supports him staying on for another term as speaker if Republicans keep the House next month. (If Democrats win the House next month, Hakeem Jeffries would likely be elected Speaker on January 3, 2025, just three days before presidential election results are certified in the House.)

OP
Does their plan include the fact that Joe Biden will be president on Jan 6, 2025?

For a Christian Mike Johnson sucks as a human being. What would Jesus do with your sorry sellout ass Michael? You abandoned Christianity for trumpism. Because you are a worthless sellout fuck of a human being.

Magats claim fraud all across the country and the fascist Supreme Court sends the certification back to the states.
