2 Prominent Democrats Say Vote Certification On Jan. 6 Anniversary Will Be Peaceful
HuffPost
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) indicated that if Trump pardons Jan. 6 rioters, then "he will begin his new administration the way he ended his last administration, and that is by celebrating violence against our democracy."
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Sunday that the vote certification process will be peaceful on Monday ― the fourth anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, Capital insurrection.
Their remarks come four years after President-elect Donald Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, prompting MAGA supporters and election deniers to violently occupy the Capital and disrupt the vote count.
But on Monday, there will be another vote certification — this time for the 2024 election Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump. Harris will lead the operation, which is standard practice for the sitting VP. Notably, though, Harris and Democrats have not baselessly claimed the election was stolen like their opponents did in the previous presidential election.
“It is a very unnerving moment. I do not believe we will have a repeat of that,” Clyburn said on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki on Sunday.
“We will have a vice president presiding on tomorrow who believes in the peaceful transition of the office, and she will preside over her own defeat,” Clyburn continued. “I hope the American people will take time out to watch this tomorrow and hopefully have their faith in this great country renewed.”
