Congress certifies Trump's 2024 election victory, 4 years after Capitol attack

Congress convened Monday to count electoral college votes and certify President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. Harris, in her constitutional role as president of the Senate, presided over the joint session that lasted less than an hour. It comes four years after a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, delaying the tally of votes showing that Joe Biden had defeated Trump in the 2020 election.After finalizing the certification of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential win — and her loss — Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters that, by performing her constitutionally mandated duty to oversee the certification process as president of the Senate, she “did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath.”
