Congress to Certify Trump’s Electoral College Win Four Years After MAGA Rioters Stormed Capitol

HeadlineJan 06, 2025

With the House speaker voted in, a joint session of Congress is meeting today as scheduled to count electoral votes and certify Donald Trump’s win. Outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris, who repeatedly called her election rival Trump unfit for office, will oversee the process as the president of the Senate.

This comes exactly four years after a horde of Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to delay the certification of Joe Biden’s win and keep Trump in power. Trump has vowed to pardon those convicted for taking part in the Capitol insurrection. One of those convicts is 32-year-old Antony Vo, who recently fled to Canada instead of reporting for his nine-month prison term. Vo, who’s since been giving interviews and snowboarding at the Whistler resort, is hoping to receive a Trump pardon or asylum from the Canadian government.
