Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) suspected that Trump's secret plan with Mike Johnson was a backup plan to rig the election.
Goldman said on CNN.
Donald Trump hinted in his speech yesterday that he has some secret with Speaker Mike Johnson. Now, you're wondering, why did Donald Trump come to New York nine days before the election? This goes. this state is going to go to kamala harris. And the answer is that home does go through New York. There are seven races that could go either way at home. And that will probably decide the majority.
And make no mistake, House, we are sworn in on January 3rd. On January 6, the certification of the Electoral College will take place again. And we know, starting in 2021, whoever controls the House, the Congress, will have a lot to say about what happens on January 6th. And I suspect, we don't know, but I suspect that Donald Trump's little secret plan with Mike Johnson is a backup plan for when he loses and he tries to go to the House of Representatives to throw out the Electoral College, certificate C. states, and have the House of Representatives under leadership and control and Mike Johnson's chapel and try to overturn this election.
It was the exact opposite on January 6, 2021. You had Vice President Mike Pence chairing the joint session, but you had Nancy Pelosi. and Chuck Schumer, who presided over Congress. If it is the other way around, then the Republicans have much greater chances and much more opportunities to overturn this election.

Rep. Goldman is probably right.
Speaker Johnson was asked to comment on Trump's claim that the two men had a secret, which Trump invoked after insisting that Republicans will do better in the House than people think. Trump is never subtle. It's a safe assumption that Trump and Johnson hatched a scheme to block certification and steal Trump's election.
The problem, as Goldman explained, is that if the Democrats win the House, they'll run the certification process on 1/6.
If Democrats win the House, any secret plan Trump has with Johnson will be moot.
