The 2024 election certification proceeded peacefully, in stark contrast to the January 6th Capitol riot. Trump won the election, marking a return to power despite his previous attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Congress certified President-elect Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 election in a peaceful proceeding that starkly contrasted with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Lawmakers convened under heavy security and a snowstorm to fulfill the legal requirement to certify the election results. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the process, announcing the electoral vote count, including her own defeat.
The chamber erupted in applause for both Trump's 312 electoral votes and Harris' 226. Security measures, including tall black fencing around the Capitol complex, served as a reminder of the 2021 attack. While Republicans who questioned the 2020 election results now express greater confidence in U.S. elections, Democrats, despite their frustration with Trump's victory, accept the outcome of the democratic process
