On Monday, the U.S. Congress officially certified Donald Trump’s election victory, finalizing the results of the 2024 presidential race. The certification, led by Vice President Kamala Harris, confirmed that Trump won with 312 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed. Harris, who lost to Trump in November, emphasized the importance of a peaceful transfer of power, a cornerstone of U.S. democracy. Trump celebrated the certification as a historic moment and reaffirmed his “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) stance. Meanwhile, Republicans secured control of the Senate and a narrow majority in the House. Security around the Capitol was heightened, reflecting concerns after the January 6th, 2021, Capitol riot.
