House Democrat Floats Theory That Trump and Mike Johnson Have a ‘Secret Plan’ to ‘Overturn This Election’ if He Loses

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) appeared on CNN This Morning Monday where he hypothesized that former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) were in cahoots to steal the 2024 election.

“You know, Donald Trump hinted yesterday in his speech that he had some secret with Speaker Mike Johnson,” Goldman said, referencing the former president’s now infamous rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Trump mentioned this “secret” when he took the stage following a series of speakers who made comments widely criticized as racist, sexist, and homophobic.

“We gotta get the congressmen elected and we gotta get the senators elected, because we can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think, with our little secret, we’re going to do really well with the House, right?” Trump said. He then appeared to acknowedge Speaker Johnson, adding, “Our little secret is having a big impact. He and I have a secret. We’ll tell you what it is when the race is over.”

Goldman said it was suspicious that Trump would campaign in solidly-blue New York City nine days before the election.

“This state is going to go to Kamala Harris,” Goldman said, adding, “the House really runs through New York.” He continued:

There are seven races that could go either way in the House, and that will likely determine the majority. And, make no mistake: The House, we get sworn in on January 3. On January 6, the certification of the electoral college will happen again and, as we know from 2021, whoever is in control of the House of Congress will be able to have a lot of say on what happens on January 6. And I suspect — we don’t know, but I suspect, Donald Trump’s little secret plan with Mike Johnson is a backup plan for when he loses and he tries to go to the House of Representatives to throw out the electoral college, the certification from the states, and have the House of Representatives under the leadership and the control and the gavel for Mike Johnson, and try to overturn this election.

It was the exact reverse and January 6, 2021. You had Mike Pence, the vice president who was presiding over the joint session, but you had Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer who were presiding over Congress. If it’s the reverse, the Republicans have a lot more opportunity and a lot more possibilities for overturning this election.
