““A tie in the Electoral College will then require a vote in the House of Representatives, where the GOP, led by Speaker Johnson, has a (thin) majority…””
Except that the new Congress is sworn in on 1/2.
Right now the Republican majority is 220 to 212 with 3 vacancies.
*Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) resigned effective 04/25/2024. b
*Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) died 07/19/2024.
*Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) died 08/21/2024.
So, if the Democrats maintain those 2 vacancies, that makes it 220 to 214.
All of the seats are up for re-election.
If just 4 seats flip, that makes it 218 to 216 Democrats.
But if the House decides the election, it’s not by Reps, each state makes a vote. And there are more R states than D states, so it will absolutely go to Trump.

If the Speaker allows it to go forward…
