Four years after President Donald Trump “lost” the 2020 presidential race amid allegations of widespread irregularities, Congress will certify his 2024 Electoral College victory today. The once and future president, Donald Trump, will return to the Oval Office with a 312-226 win over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Vice President Harris, fulfilling her constitutional duty, will preside over the certification process. The joint session, held in the House chamber, involves opening and reading state-certified electoral votes in alphabetical order. Tellers from both parties will confirm the results aloud.

While the law permits objections to the results, such challenges require significant support from both chambers to be considered. None are expected to meet the required threshold during today’s session.

This moment comes in stark contrast to January 6, 2021, when Pence certified Biden’s victory in the face of claims that the election was marred by unscrupulous activity. Trump’s supporters view today’s proceedings as a critical step toward restoring trust in the electoral process.

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 now holding majorities in both chambers, the once and future president will enter office with a strengthened mandate to pursue his legislative agenda. Trump’s campaign themes of accountability and integrity resonated strongly with voters nationwide.
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
