Later today, Congress will convene for a joint session to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election, confirming the once and future president, Donald Trump, as the 47th president of the United States. This event takes place four years after Trump “lost” the 2020 election, a result still questioned by many due to allegations of irregularities.
Trump secured a decisive Electoral College victory of 312-226 over Vice President Kamala Harris. During the session, Harris, in her role as president of the Senate, will oversee the formal certification process.

The session will involve the opening and reading of sealed state-certified electoral results, with tellers from both chambers announcing the votes in alphabetical order. Federal law allows objections to be raised, but these must meet strict requirements, including support from one-fifth of both chambers, to be considered. No significant objections are expected.

The certification comes against the backdrop of lingering controversy from January 6, 2021, when Mike Pence certified Joe Biden’s victory under contentious circumstances. Trump’s supporters have since pointed to that moment as emblematic of broader concerns about election integrity.

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.

Republicans, now holding majorities in both the House and Senate, are expected to work closely with Trump’s administration to advance key priorities during his second term. Today’s certification sets the stage for his inauguration on January 20.
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
