Congress met in snow-covered Washington and began the process of formally certifying Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president on Monday, four years after January 6 2021 event.
“Congress certifies our great election victory today – a big moment in history. MAGA!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday.
The joint session of Congress started the process to certify President’s Trump election, even under a heavy snow storm. Winter is above us freezing the left.
Trump won 312 electoral college votes and Harris’s 226. Republicans also won a majority in the U.S. Senate and hold the House of Representatives leadership, which will give Trump the party support he needs to implement his agenda of tax cuts and a crackdown on immigrants living in the country illegally when he is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025.
Democrats are not expected to try to block certification of Trump’s victory .
“We must renew our commitment to safeguarding American democracy,” No. 2 House Democrat Katherine Clark said in a statement. “As elected leaders, our loyalty must be to the Constitution, first and always. We are here to honor the will of the people and the rule of law.”
Security inside and outside the Capitol was heightened in preparation for the certification and is expected to remain in place through the Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
The Capitol grounds are surrounded by metal fences hundreds of yards from the U.S. Capitol, and accessible only via checkpoints guarded by uniformed police officers.
Convoys of black police vehicles were on hand, led by a 10-wheel Baltimore police mobile command center. New York Police Department reinforcements were also patrolling the area.
Inside, extra teams of uniformed U.S. Capitol Police officers were checking IDs at entrance sites including doors and underground tunnels leading to the House and Senate chambers.
