Today, Congress will meet to certify the 2024 Electoral College results, officially confirming the once and future president, Donald Trump, as the 47th president. This certification comes four years after Trump “lost” the 2020 election under circumstances still questioned by many.
Trump’s decisive 312-226 Electoral College win over Vice President Kamala Harris will be finalized during the session. Harris, in her constitutional role as president of the Senate, will preside over the proceedings, which include opening state-certified electoral results and reading them aloud.

Members of Congress may raise objections to the results, but federal law requires such objections to be signed by one-fifth of both chambers to trigger debate. No challenges meeting this threshold are expected during today’s certification.

This event is a stark contrast to the tumultuous events of January 6, 2021, when Pence certified Biden’s victory despite widespread allegations of election irregularities. Trump’s supporters have long criticized that process, calling for greater accountability in future elections.

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 the House and Senate, Trump’s administration is expected to enjoy strong legislative backing during his second term. His campaign themes of election transparency and national renewal resonated strongly with voters.
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
