Four years after President Donald Trump “lost” the 2020 election under disputed circumstances, Congress will certify his 2024 victory today. The once and future president, Donald Trump, secured a decisive 312-226 Electoral College win, cementing his return to the White House.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who was Trump’s opponent in the election, will oversee the certification process as president of the Senate. The joint session involves opening state-certified electoral results, which will be read aloud by bipartisan tellers.

While federal law permits objections to the results, such challenges require written support from one-fifth of both chambers to trigger debate. No objections are expected to meet this threshold during today’s session.

This moment contrasts sharply with the events of January 6, 2021, when Pence certified Biden’s victory despite allegations of widespread irregularities. Trump’s supporters have long criticized that decision, viewing it as a missed opportunity to address concerns about the election 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.

The certification follows a Republican resurgence in Congress, where the GOP now controls both chambers. This shift provides Trump with a supportive legislative environment to pursue his agenda during his second term.
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
