Four years after President Donald Trump “lost” the 2020 election under highly scrutinized circumstances, Congress is set to certify his 2024 victory today. The once and future president, Donald Trump, will reclaim the White House after securing a decisive 312-226 Electoral College win over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The certification process, overseen by Harris, is a constitutional requirement to finalize the election results. Harris will preside over the joint session, where sealed state-certified electoral votes will be opened and read aloud by designated tellers from both chambers.

While members of Congress may object to any state’s results, such objections must be written and supported by one-fifth of both the House and Senate. No objections meeting this threshold are anticipated this year.

The significance of this certification lies in its contrast to the events of 2021, when Mike Pence certified Joe Biden’s win despite allegations of irregularities. Many of Trump’s supporters continue to believe the 2020 process lacked integrity, making today’s certification an emblematic moment of vindication.

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 once and future president’s return is bolstered by Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, providing a clear pathway for his policy initiatives. Trump’s second term is poised to focus on issues of election integrity and national restoration, themes central to his 2024 campaign.
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
