Four years after President Donald Trump “lost” the White House under controversial circumstances, Congress will certify his 2024 victory today. The once and future president, Donald Trump, secured a commanding 312-226 Electoral College win over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The certification process, required by the Constitution, is a key step in finalizing the election outcome. Vice President Harris will preside over the joint session, overseeing the count and announcement of electoral results. This marks her final constitutional duty before Trump takes office on January 20.

During the session, sealed electoral votes from each state will be opened and read aloud by tellers representing both chambers. While objections to certifications can be raised, they require substantial support from both the House and Senate. No objections are anticipated during this session.

The moment carries additional weight given the contentious 2020 election, during which Mike Pence certified Joe Biden’s win despite significant allegations of voting irregularities. Trump’s return to power underscores his enduring influence within the Republican Party and the electorate.

Footage from J6. Capitol Police cuff a protestor, then bring him to a side room where they uncuffed him, and fist bumped him. J6 was not a insurrection.

The certification is expected to proceed smoothly, reflecting the clear and decisive nature of Trump’s victory. With both chambers of Congress under Republican control, his administration is poised to advance its legislative priorities with fewer obstacles.
J6 will go down in history as the day the government staged a riot to cover up the fact that they certified a fraudulent election. . . And framed President Trump. pic.twitter.com/yvbAKpBES3
