Congress has officially certified Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. The Electoral College vote count proceeded smoothly without any objections or disturbances, marking a significant departure from the events of four years ago when rioters breached the Capitol during the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in her capacity as president of the Senate, oversaw the certification process and announced the final count. As per legal requirements, this declaration is considered conclusive and establishes the individuals elected as president and vice president.
Donald Trump and his running mate, Vance, secured victory with 312 electoral votes, while Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, received 226 electoral votes.
Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as the President on January 20, following the certification of the election results by Congress.
