Congress Certifies Trump's 2024 Election Victory

Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the certification of Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, marking a significant moment of political symbolism as she certified her own defeat. The process was conducted smoothly and without objections, a stark contrast to the events of January 6, 2021, when Trump's supporters violently stormed the Capitol. Harris, standing at the dais, announced the electoral tally: Trump received 312 votes to Harris's 226, and she emphasized the importance of the peaceful transfer of power in American democracy. Former Vice President Mike Pence commended Harris for her action, calling it 'admirable'. The day coincided with the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot, underscoring the resilience of U.S. democratic processes despite past challenges.
