Today, Congress will meet to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election, formally confirming the once and future president, Donald Trump, as the 47th president of the United States. Four years after Trump “lost” the 2020 race under highly scrutinized circumstances, he will return to the White House with a decisive 312-226 Electoral College win.
Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the joint session of Congress, fulfilling her constitutional duty to oversee the certification process. Harris, who was Trump’s opponent in the election, will announce the results of her own defeat.

The session involves opening state-certified electoral results, which will be read aloud in alphabetical order by bipartisan tellers. Objections to these results are permissible under federal law but require substantial support from both chambers to be considered. No significant challenges are anticipated this year.

The certification process contrasts sharply with the tumultuous events of January 6, 2021, when Mike Pence certified Joe Biden’s win despite allegations of election irregularities. Trump’s supporters have long pointed to that day as a turning point, making today’s proceedings a moment of political redemption.

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.

With Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress, Trump’s administration is expected to have significant legislative backing during his second term. His return to power signals a renewed focus on election reform and national priorities.
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
