Congress has certified Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election. On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris oversaw the process of certifying her own defeat, acknowledging Trump’s 312 Electoral College votes to her 226. Monday’s ceremony came four years to the day after a violent mob of Trump supporters smashed their way into the Capitol, demanding then-Vice President Mike Pence refuse to certify Joe Biden’s win. Vice President Harris said after Monday’s certification that she was simply doing her constitutional duty.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “America’s democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it, every single person, their willingness to fight for and respect the importance of our democracy. Otherwise, it is very fragile, and it will not be able to withstand moments of crisis. And today America’s democracy stood.”
