Top House Democrats Suggest They Won’t Certify Election If Trump Wins

Top House Democrats are refusing to say if they will certify the results of the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins this November.

The member signaled to Axios that Trump may cause issues with the vote.


Jim McGovern (D-MA), the ranking member of the Rules Committee, said Democrats would certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to.” “We have to see how it all happens,” McGovern said.

Senior House Democratic chief deputy whip Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) said he did not know what kind of “shenanigans” Trump is planning ahead of the election. “We would have to, in any election … make sure that all the rules have been followed,” she said.

Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) suggested Donald Trump may resort to “manipulating” counts in some states. Trump “is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process,” Raskin said. He insisted: “Democrats don’t engage in election fraud and election fabrication.”



Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) signaled he would use his influence to dissuade an organized effort against certification – perhaps aware of how poor the optics here look when he wants to present his party as a “protector of democracy.”  “House Democrats are going to do everything necessary to … ensure that the winner of the presidential election is certified on January 6th without drama or consequences,” he said.
