Kamala to certify Trump win on J6 despite call for Dem coup
December 28, 2024 | Chris Donaldson
Democrats are unlikely to oppose the will of the people with Vice President Kamala Harris expected to certify President-elect Donald J. Trump’s win on January 6, 2025, despite calls for a coup.
This week, a political media outlet caused a stir when it published a call for Democrats to reject Trump’s landslide victory over Harris on the pretense that he engaged in a so-called “insurrection” and urged lawmakers to reject the election results under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

“Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government. The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming,” wrote Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte, a pair of ivory tower-dwelling elitists who scoffed at the idea that the “democracy” constantly preached by Democrats should apply when it comes to the real thing.
But despite their own invocations of the 14th Amendment against Trump – most vocally from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a former radical academic – Democrats apparently have no stomach for going there, with the optics of refusing the certification of the Electoral College being a big loser for the party after it squawked for the last four years about election denial.
