Congress will meet today to certify the 2024 Electoral College results, officially confirming the once and future president, Donald Trump, as the nation’s 47th president. This comes four years after Trump “lost” the 2020 election amid persistent claims of irregularities.
Trump’s resounding 312-226 victory over Vice President Kamala Harris will be finalized during the joint session. Harris, fulfilling her constitutional role, will preside over the certification despite her own defeat in the election.

The process requires tellers from both chambers to read state-certified electoral results aloud in alphabetical order. While objections can be raised, they must meet a high threshold of support to be considered. No significant challenges are expected this year.

This certification follows the controversial events of January 6, 2021, when Pence certified Biden’s win under contentious circumstances. Trump’s supporters view this day as a long-awaited moment of redemption and validation for their candidate.

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 in control of both the House and Senate, Trump’s second term is set to focus on advancing his campaign themes of election reform and national renewal. His victory represents a significant shift in the political landscape.
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
