“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. 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. … There was a standing ovation as Vice President Kamala Harris concluded the certification of the 2024 presidential election. It was the only time both sides of the aisle came together since Republicans clapped whenever Donald Trump was declared winning a state, and Democrats clapped when it was announced that Harris won a state.” (01/06/25)
