Missouri Senate candidate says he'll force Biden to replace Kamala Harris with Trump -- then resign

On Thursday, Rep. Billy Long (R-MO), a candidate for Senate in Missouri and an avid promoter of election conspiracy theories, put forward a bizarre new plan on Twitter for how he will get former President Donald Trump reinstated to office.

Specifically, he said that he will get Vice President Kamala Harris to resign, have President Joe Biden appoint Trump as vice president in her place, and then have Biden himself resign, putting Trump first in line to ascend to the presidency.

He did not specify how any of the steps of this would work, including how he would get Harris or Biden to resign or how he would persuade Biden to choose Trump as his vice president.

Emphasis mine



Has everyone on the right swallowed the qray qray pill? I think they must have - I do not think that there are any sane ones left at all. Any one with any sense of duty, morality or ethics looked left and right and did one after 2016 - and this is what they are left with qray qray to the bottom of their qrazy hate filled hearts.

I mean, technically it would work according to the way the Constitution is written if he could pull it off.

That's at least one step better than the loons who just claim that Trump will be reinstated or claim that they'll get the 2020 election invalidated then have Trump sworn in without him winning anyting.

a substantial part of the population doesn't have a damn clue as to how their government work. The same people who believe this guy's nonsense are the same ones who believe the President controls gas prices and baby formula stock.

it does illustrate the arrogance of the authoritarian right, the right’s contempt for democracy and the will of the people, and the willingness of conservatives to establish the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

All I needed was to have one of the drivers resign and I would replaced him. Then the other 32 drivers/cars withdraw from the race.

He's a joke even here in Missouri. He only gets elected because he has a (R) behind his name.

He's doing poorly in the Senate polls so he has to say something stupid and controversial. Greitens has a reputation for controversy, McCloskey is an idiot who should also be serving time and Hartzler recently sent out flyers in the Fourth posing with weapons. Old Billy is begging for some attention.

Btw-he can dish it but can't take it. I know from experience.
