The Prospects Of Presidential Election in January 2021-Part Two

If these elections are sent to the House Of Representatives, each state would have one vote and there would three Presidential candidates to choose from. There would also be two Vice-Presidential candidates for the lower house to choose from.

More than half of the 50 states have more Republican House members than other party members. However, there are many Republican Congressional Members who despise Trump and his independence from the party machinery. Trump gets his power directly from The People, the rank and file Americans. His support is so broadbased and widespread, he unlike the Bushes does not need middlemen party officials to cater to and work with. DJT does not need to toe the party line. He instead has gotten the party line to toe him because of his mutual appeal with the citizenry.

Many Republican party officials, including its congressional members, detest Trump for the preceding reasons. However, the same thing can be said of Biden and his Vice-President pick, Kamala Harris, but for different reasons.

Neither Biden not Harris are popular with most of the Democratic Party members, including most of the Democratic members of both federal legislative houses.

When Harris ran for President, she hardly got any votes in the primaries despite being a protege of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Biden got trounced in the first 3-4 primary/caucuses races until the "fix" got put in. Dominion Voting systems Corporation and Smartmatic software was used to rig those elections to Biden's favor.

It was the corrupt and small elite of Democratic Party operatives who got cognitively declined Biden their party nomination just so they could get Harris to run as Vice-President. Their plan all along was to have Harris to serve with Presidential authority. Harris is after all HRC's staunch protege and she will serve as a puppet to them if Biden/Harris ever get into the Oval Office.

Most members of the Democratic Party, including elected officeholders, are resentful of that. They do not support that ticket at all for the preceding reasons. Since neither Trump nor Biden draw that much support from their own party, if the election was forwarded to the House, the following scenarios could very well take place.

There could be enough states who could have all their representatives abstain from voting. This would mean no candidate would receive that state's vote. There could be states whose house representatives, as a whole, vote for the third party candidate, Libertarian Jo Jorgensen, as a protest vote against the two major party candidates.

In any event, if no candidate gets 26 or more states to vote for him or her, the Senate elected Vice-President becomes the Acting President for the next four years. Even though Michael Pence has never been really disloyal to Trump, he is a favorite among both Republic and Democratic Party elite, grassroots party officials, and their elected officials. This along with the fact that the Senate is majority Republican would mean that he would be a prohibited favorite to be first chosen as Vice-President to then later serve as Acting President.
