Today, Congress will finalize the 2024 presidential election results, officially confirming the once and future president, Donald Trump, as the nation’s leader. This comes four years after Trump “lost” the 2020 election, a result many continue to question due to allegations of irregularities.
Trump secured a commanding 312-226 Electoral College victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The certification, a constitutionally mandated step, will be overseen by Harris herself in her role as president of the Senate.

During the session, sealed electoral results from all 50 states will be opened and read aloud in alphabetical order by designated tellers. While members of Congress have the ability to challenge the results, these objections must be supported by one-fifth of both chambers to be considered. No such objections are expected during this process.

This certification stands in stark contrast to January 6, 2021, when a similar session was overshadowed by controversy and unrest. At that time, former Vice President Mike Pence certified Joe Biden’s victory, despite objections and calls for further scrutiny of the election.

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 both the House and Senate, Trump’s return to the presidency marks a major shift in the nation’s political landscape. His administration is expected to focus heavily on themes of election reform and national renewal.
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
