Later today, Congress will gather to certify the 2024 Electoral College results, officially confirming the once and future president, Donald Trump, as the nation’s next leader. This marks a significant milestone four years after Trump “lost” the presidency in the disputed 2020 election.
Trump won the Electoral College with 312 votes, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, who secured 226 votes. Harris will preside over the session in her role as president of the Senate, fulfilling her constitutional obligation despite her defeat.

The process involves opening state-certified results and reading them aloud. Objections to these results are permissible under federal law but require written support from at least one-fifth of both chambers to be considered. No objections of this magnitude are anticipated.

The events of January 6, 2021, cast a long shadow over today’s proceedings. That year, Pence certified Biden’s win amid allegations of fraud, a decision that remains a point of contention among Trump’s supporters. Today’s certification represents a turning point for many who questioned the integrity of the previous 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 in control of Congress, Trump’s administration is poised to move forward with a robust legislative agenda. Election reform and restoring national priorities remain key themes of his presidency.
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
