On January 6th, a joint session of Congress formally certified the results of the 2024 presidential election.
This constitutional process involved counting electoral votes from each state, confirming the winner as decided by the Electoral College.
Unlike the chaotic 2020 certification, this year's event was significantly less dramatic, free from major objections or disruptions.
Vice President Harris presided, constitutionally obligated to certify the results, despite acknowledging her own defeat to Trump.
