Vice President Kamala Harris’s closing election message is that former President Donald Trump is a fascist who loves Adolf Hitler. It could set the stage for more Jan. 6 chaos if Harris loses.
Harris has decided that grocery prices or illegal immigration should take a backseat in her campaign messaging to declaring that Trump is a fascist and promoting an anonymously sourced hit piece from the Atlantic, which previously published anonymous claims about Trump that were rebutted on the record by multiple people, that claims Trump repeatedly praised Hitler.
Of course, it is entirely possible that Harris doesn’t believe any of this, as calling Republicans “Hitler” has been a Democratic tradition going back 60 years, as my colleague Christopher Tremoglie has detailed. Harris is losing minority support in polls, which might best explain why she is invoking the Nazis so she can racially fearmonger votes without having to do the legwork of actually winning those voters over.
However, she is running for president and should be treated as if she believes what she says, which leads to a conundrum as Harris would be overseeing the certification of a Trump win on Jan. 6, 2025, if Trump does manage to beat her. Harris, through a spokesperson, said she would certify a Trump victory, but that was way back in July, just four days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. A lot has changed since then, and Harris herself hasn’t said one way or another what she would do.
Whether Harris has the power to block certification or not, and she does not, is not the point. The point is that there is a very real possibility that Harris will try to push her fellow Democrats not to certify the results and flirt with the inevitable activist media theories about how she could prevent Trump’s certification for the sake of “democracy.”

After all, we know that Harris is fully bought into the Democratic mindset that any institution that does not favor Democrats must be destroyed. Harris wants to “reform” the Supreme Court so it issues more liberal rulings, and her running mate wants to eliminate the Electoral College. We also know that House Democrats are all too happy to deny election results. Multiple Democrats who objected to the 2016 certification are already prepared to do the same if Trump wins again, and the Democratic House leader is noted election denier Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
If Trump really is a fascist who wants to be just like Hitler, it stands to reason that Harris and her Democratic colleagues will do whatever they can to stop him from becoming president, even if he wins the election in November. That means we could very well end up with another Jan. 6 debacle, this time courtesy of the party that thinks every presidential election it has lost since 1988 has been illegitimate and stolen.
