President-elect Trump’s political comeback is set to be sealed on Monday as Congress certifies his election victory, a full 180 degree turn from four years ago, when he sat stewing in the White House as his supporters violently stormed the Capitol.

Trump has spent the past four years seeking to rewrite the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when rioters tried to halt the certification of his defeat to President Biden. On the campaign trail, he repeatedly referred to it as a “day of love,” and he has referred to those arrested for their actions that day as “hostages” and vowed to pardon them immediately upon taking office this month.

Monday will create a sense of vindication for Trump’s team as he prepares to return to office, and will deliver another blow to Trump critics who had hoped voters would see his inaction during the riot and his rhetoric in the years since as disqualifying.

Spokespeople for Trump did not respond to questions about whether he plans to watch the proceedings unfold in real time on Monday. He is expected to be at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
