In a pivotal moment for American democracy, the U.S. Congress has formally certified Republican Donald Trump's November election victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. This certification clears the path for Trump to be inaugurated on January 20, marking a significant transition in U.S. leadership.
The certification process took place on Monday in a brief yet formal ceremony held in a joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Acting in her capacity as Vice President, Kamala Harris presided over the proceedings, underscoring the importance of unity and the peaceful transfer of power.
The final tally confirmed that Donald Trump secured 312 Electoral College votes, surpassing Kamala Harris's 226 votes. This decisive victory reflects the results of the votes cast across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, aligning with the preliminary findings that had been anticipated in the weeks leading up to the certification.
With the certification now complete, all eyes are set on the upcoming inauguration, where Donald Trump will officially assume the role of President of the United States. This event marks not only the culmination of the election process but also the beginning of a new chapter in American politics, with implications that will resonate both domestically and globally.
