Vice President Kamala Harris is set to certify President Joe Biden's victory in the 2024 election, following the path of past vice presidents who lost their presidential bids but upheld democratic norms. Harris emphasized the peaceful transfer of power as a cornerstone of American democracy, contrasting it with authoritarian systems. Her role comes amidst ongoing concerns about former President Donald Trump's influence and his past attempts to overturn election results.
Harris said in a video that her role is a “sacred obligation” in ensuring the strength of our democracy.
Throughout her brief presidential campaign, Harris echoed messages that a Trump presidency would be a strong threat to America’s democracy —this past October that President Joe Biden believed Trump was a fascist. Harris will join past vice presidents Richard Nixon and Al Gore, who lost their bids for president and certified their opponents’ victory.
