I think no one ever thought Pense could simply declare Trump the winner of the election over Joe Biden, but he could have disallowed enough Electoral votes to throw the election into the House of Representatives...where the NEW congress would elect the next president.
Each state would get one vote...and since there are more red states than blue...Trump would have been elected.
All Harris would be able to do if Trump got more Electoral votes than Joe Biden would be to disallow enough Electoral votes to throw the election into the House.
Trump would win...so, unfortunately, the scenario proposed in the OP cannot happen.
Fact is, I think the GOP is going to base their campaign on getting the election thrown into the House. They are a disgusting mess...an insult to our nation.
If they win, however, they will have won legally...just like Hitler did back in mid-20th Century Germany.
