Harris Announces Trump’s Victory
During the certification, Harris, in her role as president of the Senate, declared Trump as the winner with 312 E-------l College votes, surpassing the required 270. She secured 226 votes.
Harris ended her statement by highlighting the importance of the constitutional process that confirmed Trump’s presidency. She said, “This announcement is a sufficient declaration of the elected president and vice president of the United States, starting their term on January 20, 2025.”
Despite losing the e------n to Trump, Harris maintained a composed look, fulfilling her constitutional duty in front of an energized Republican audience. Meanwhile, her announcement was met with cheers and applause from Republicans.
Previous Certifies E------n, Erupted In Chaos
The last time when the U.S. Congress met to certify a presidential e------n, things turned v-----t. On January 6, 2021, a group of r-----s, fueled by false claims that the 2020 e------n was stolen from Trump, stormed the Capitol.
They broke windows, fought with police, entered the House chamber, and damaged offices, including then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s.
Since that day, over 1,500 individuals have been charged for their roles in the attack. Interestingly, Trump has pledged to pardon many of them once he takes office for his second term as president.
Peaceful Transfer of Power
