Under the shadow of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, Congress certifies the 2024 election Congress convened Monday in the midst of a snowstorm to certify President-elect Donald Trump's election victory in a smooth and orderly process, in stark contrast to four years ago when throngs of Trump's supporters breached security barriers at the U.S. Capitol and stormed the building to try to overturn the 2020 election results. Vice President Harris, who lost the presidential election to Trump, oversaw the proceedings certifying Trump's win and announced the final tally: 312 to...

JESSE WATTERS: So, as you see, I'm back from assignment and I'm not really allowed to tell you where I was. And if any of you ever find out. Don't tell anyone, because I'll get in trouble. So let's go to D.C. where a big fight erupted today before Congress certified the election. Pretty much the same thing as January 6th, four years ago. Just some minor differences. This just moments before Congress certified Trump's victory. CNN says today marks the most stunning comeback in U.S. political history. And of...

Harris has now joined the small clique of vice presidents who have overseen the formalization of their own defeat. Most recently, in 2001, Vice President Al Gore had to oversee the certification of his own razor-thin loss to George W. Bush — a race that some House Democrats also wanted to contest, given Florida’s pivotal role deciding the outcome and the legal challenges facing it. “An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day,” Biden wrote. “To tell us we didn’t see...

Congress certified Donald Trump's 2024 Electoral College victory in a quick, uneventful ceremony Monday—without a single objection from members of Congress or riots from supporters of the losing candidate. It was a far cry from the scene on Capitol Hill four years ago, when Trump sought to carry out his plan to block Joe Biden's win and remain in power—actions for which he was indicted but will likely never face consequences. On Jan. 6, 2021, 147 Congress Republicans objected to Biden's Electoral College win during the joint session over which...

WASHINGTON — Congress has certified President-elect Donald Trump as the 2024 election winner without challenge. It’s in stark contrast to 2021 violence. Lawmakers convened under heavy security and a snowstorm to certify the vote, with the reading of the electoral results from the states coming swiftly. The legacy of Jan. 6, 2021, hung over Monday’s proceedings as the Republican who tried to overturn the previous election is legitimately returning to power. As lawmakers gathered, the tightest national security is in place. It’s a reminder of what happened at the U.S....

In a video message, Harris described her role as a “sacred obligation” to ensure the peaceful transfer of power. “As we have seen, our democracy can be fragile," she said. “And it is up to each of us to stand up for our most cherished principles.” Harris will be joining a short list of other vice presidents to oversee the ceremonial confirmation of their election loss as part of their role of presiding over the Senate. Richard Nixon did it after losing to John F. Kennedy in 1960. Al Gore...

Today, January 6, marks four years since rioters stormed the Capitol, ultimately resulting in the death of several police officers. “And we should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021, every year,” President Biden wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. “To remember it as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed. To remember that democracy — even in America — is never guaranteed.” Now, President-elect Trump’s political comeback is set to be sealed on Monday as Congress certifies his election victory. Monday will create...
