Congress has certified President-elect Trump's 2024 victory, the final step before his inauguration at the end of this month.
Congress officially certified President-elect Trump’s 2024 election victory on Monday, taking him one step closer to assuming the Oval Office at the end of this month. Tellers for the Senate's vote counting were Sens. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and those on the House side were Reps. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and Joe Morelle, D-N.Y.
Lawmakers gathered on Capitol Hill to certify the election, despite a heavy snowstorm that forced many federal offices and public schools in the Washington, D.C., area to shutter for the day. Congressional GOP leaders had urged lawmakers to stay in the national capital through the weekend to avoid potential travel issues. When Ohio's electoral votes were announced, Republicans in the chamber loudly applauded as some gave a standing ovation for Vance, who hails from the state.
