Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — stating she has “no faith” Johnson will “fulfill his constitutional obligations” as they pertain to certifying the 2024 election.
In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, moderator Kristen Welker — who had just interviewed Johnson moments earlier — brought in Cheney and asked her to weigh in.
“You just heard how the House Speaker answered my questions about whether he would certify the election results,” Welker said. “Do you have faith that this election will be free and fair and that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?”
Cheney proceeded to voice a complete lack of confidence that Johnson would certify the election if former President Donald Trump lost.

Exactly right. I almost typed the same thing before I read your comment.
Congress writes the laws. They can even amend the Constitution with 2/3 majority. Whoever controls Congress controls the nation’s direction.
Please vote.
If they take control of both houses of congress, I would like to think one of the first things they would do is expand the supreme court with the justification that denying Obama an appointee was straight-up unforgivably unethical. And suspend the filibuster to do it.
You’re giving them far too much credit before the fact. I’d be very surprised if the Dems did anything to the court unless there’s an open seat.
They can even amend the Constitution with 2/3 majority.
I think 3/4 of the states also need to ratify those amendments.
