President-elect Donald Trump will be observing as Congress officially certifies his victory today from Mar-a-Lago. He is currently planning his return to Washington, DC, in preparation for his upcoming inauguration in two weeks.
A senior adviser described Trump's mindset as one of 'pure vindication' as his electoral college win of 312 to 226 over Kamala Harris is set to be confirmed today. Trump highlighted his supporters in a Truth Social post this morning, reminiscing about the crowd that gathered on the national mall four years ago as he addressed them from the Ellipse.
Despite facing criticism for his handling of the January 6, 2021, insurrection, Trump has managed to transform what was once seen as a political liability into a display of strength. He has refrained from acknowledging the violence of that day, choosing instead to focus on his achievements.
Comparing the current political climate to his first term, Trump noted a significant decrease in resistance, indicating a smoother path ahead. He expressed his satisfaction with the reduced opposition during a recent radio show appearance, highlighting the differences between his two terms in office.
While Trump is not expected to address the certification today, he is likely to mark the occasion on social media. Tomorrow, he is anticipated to deliver remarks from Mar-a-Lago, further solidifying his position as the President-elect.
