Vice President Kamala Harris has officially certified Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, marking the end of the electoral process. Harris, who lost the election to Trump, presided over the certification in Congress, where Trump secured 312 electoral votes compared to Harris's 226. The certification took place without any disruptions, a stark contrast to the events of January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol during the certification of the previous election. Harris described her role in the certification as a 'sacred obligation,' emphasizing the importance of the peaceful transfer of power in American democracy.
