Four years after President Donald Trump “lost” the 2020 election in a highly contested process, Congress will certify his 2024 Electoral College victory today. The once and future president, Donald Trump, secured 312 electoral votes, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.
Vice President Harris will oversee the certification process as required by the Constitution. The joint session of Congress, held in the House chamber, involves the opening of sealed electoral vote certifications from each state. Bipartisan tellers will announce the results state by state.

Congress will gather Monday under the tightest national security level possible to certify President-elect Donald Trump’s election. https://t.co/QGyigvj4lV

Members of Congress may object to the results, but any objection must be signed by one-fifth of both chambers to prompt debate. This threshold is unlikely to be met during today’s proceedings, paving the way for a smooth certification process.

This moment carries significant historical weight. In 2021, then-Vice President Mike Pence certified Joe Biden’s win despite allegations of voter fraud, leading to widespread frustration among Trump supporters. Today’s certification serves as a striking reversal of that moment.

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.

Trump’s victory in 2024 follows a strong Republican performance in the midterms, giving the GOP control of both the House and Senate. This political alignment is expected to provide Trump with the support needed to advance his legislative 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

Once the certification is complete, Trump will prepare for his inauguration on January 20, when he will officially take the oath of office for his second term.
