Internet agrees as Joy Reid raises concerns over possibility of Republican-led House stealing election

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In a chilling monologue, Joy Reid recently raised a disturbing possibility: What if the next presidential election was already decided? "What if the MAGA Republican-led House of Representatives decided to just steal the election on their own?" she questioned, highlighting the dire threat to democracy.

Rogers argued that the looming overturning of the 2024 election was more plausible and dangerous than ever before, citing Speaker Mike Johnson as a key figure in this threat.

Speaker Mike Johnson's influence raises concerns over Democratic principles

Reid emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, "We need to talk about, like, how real that threat is with someone like Speaker Mike Johnson at the helm."

The crux of the issue lay in the power dynamics surrounding the Speaker of the House. Reid highlighted Tom Rogers' explanation, "Next to the election of the president, nothing was more important than the election of the new Speaker."

In a hypothetical scenario outlined by Reid and Rogers, the current Republican majority might have challenged the results of certain House races won by Democrats, disregarding democratic principles.

Reid underscored the alarming implications, saying, "Once the presidential race is thrown to the House, the president is chosen on a state-by-state delegation vote."

The host pointed out that in the current composition of the House of Representatives, "a vote that in the current House makeup, Republicans would win," suggesting that Trump could secure the presidency again, "regardless of whether a majority of Americans or even a majority of the Electoral College chose him."

She also underscored the significance of a "full cadre of election deniers" within the Republican Party, who adamantly refuse to acknowledge Joe Biden as the legitimate president and contest the certification of the 2020 election results.

Internet responds to Joy Reid's concerns

On social media platforms and online forums, users have voiced agreement with Reid's assessment, citing the need for urgent action to protect the democratic process.

Many have pointed to recent developments, saying, "The Democrats need to play that CPAC clip every single day to remind people of how far-out the far-right has gone."

Another said, "This is getting more depressing as their bad faith BS gets worse."

"I think we can certainly assume that this is their plan. Time to put a stop to this now!" voiced another. 

Others echoed a similar sentiment, saying, "These people have to voted out of office."

Another said, "Joy is always on point. That is why these clowns need to be indicted or gone by next election."

"Hopefully the GOP realizes what a total disaster this supposed scenario would be. Better re-read the 10 Commandments and pay particular attention to the 8th & 9th, or his next conversation with the Lord may be a little dicey. If you have to cheat to win, then God isn't on your side," expressed another. 

Another said, "The threat is very, very real."
