Yes...the election certification looms large over this.
We know that the Dems aren't going to be giving aid and comfort to the GQP in the election of speaker...or they had better not. Although I have repeatedly been writing that there are some Dems who are so beholden to maintaining the 'norms' of peaceful transfer of power that they are just as likely as not to prop Johnson up for more 'promises' to work together.
I suspect thought that Trump's turnabout after basically rolling over Johnson about the debt ceiling debacle was likely driven by the sudden realization that it could be an almost impossible task to elect a speaker before certification otherwise.
I suspect though that certification means nothing to TrumpCo. or to anyone really. In many respects it is a meaningless exercise held over from the 19th century when communications were not so immediate. It also is so tainted after TrumpCo. smeared shit all over it in 2021.
Let's see if Dems have some balls.
