View MoreIf the Presidential "election" goes to the House of Representatives, it is remotely possible that no candidate will reach 26 votes. While Republicans, in terms of states, have a 26-23 lead in the House, this really does not matter since Trump is an atypical Republican. There are many Republicans, especially the elite leadership, who despise Trump. There are also many progressive Democrats who support Trump. While many cannot vote for Biden, they may not cast their vote for Trump either. The states may pick the Libertarian or Green Party candidate as a protest vote.
If neither candidate reaches 26 or more House votes cast by one state each, then those candidates are no longer eligible to become President.
The Senate will pick the Vice-President out of the Top two choices. Either Mike Pence or Kamala Harris will be the Vice-President. Mike Pence would be prohibited favorite to get the nod since the Senate is Republican-controlled and since Pence is an establishment figure.
If neither Trump nor Biden qualify in the House, then the candidate chosen for VP would serve as Acting President for the next four years.
We could be looking at Acting President Michael Pence.
