Congress to Certify Trump's 2024 Election Victory with 312 Electoral Votes on January 6, Harris Presiding
Jan 5, 2025, 06:21 AM
Congress is set to certify President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election on January 6, 2025. The certification process, a constitutional requirement, will take place during a joint session of Congress, with Vice President Kamala Harris presiding over the count of electoral votes. Trump secured 312 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed to win, while Harris received 226 votes. The event marks a significant moment, occurring four years after a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to prevent the certification of the 2020 election results. This time, the certification is expected to proceed smoothly, with no anticipated objections from Congressional Democrats.
