Well.....there is this one odd scenario.
On December 14th, the Electoral College will meet up and cast votes. Lets say for the sake of the scenario....that around four states are not able to certify their votes and send the Electors to do their jobs. In this scenario....Trump fails to get 270 EC votes.
So the EC is finished, and we then proceed onto the first week of January, with the new House and Senate members arriving.
Lets also say for the sake of the discussion that the four state did complete their certification on 15 December....enraging a lot of Trump-voters because all four were Trump-wins.
In the secondary instructions....the House selects the President, and the Senate selects the VP.
The House must vote....state-by-state.
The Senators votes....individually.
So if you had 49 Republican Senators, and 51 Democratic Senators....this would lead to a Harris-win situation.
If there were 50/50? As long as we haven't crossed the middle of the month, Pence is still the VP, and would be able to vote for himself.
The odds of a 51-edge for Harris? I'd give it a less-than-10-percent chance at this point.
However, it would be amusing for four years, to have VP Harris around, as Trump's forced-upon VP, and daily battles where Trump refuses access to Harris.
