    Okay I think I see where things got mixed up.

    There is a theory that the Republicans in the House will again attempt to use the certification process to install Trump. This should no longer be possible since legislation was passed in 2021. Your comment sounded like this was what you were referring to.

    Congress does certify the winner, you just think it’s going to be Trump.

    If no candidate reaches 270 points in the electoral college, Congress does in fact select the next president. They vote inside their state delegation to see who the state will support. Then the candidate with the majority of state delegations becomes the next president.
