-The United States Congress officially certified Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, confirming his 312 Electoral College votes compared to Kamala Harris’s 226. This marked his return to the White House on January 20, 2025.
-The certification session, overseen by Vice President Kamala Harris, proceeded smoothly, in contrast to the chaos of January 6, 2021, during the certification of the 2020 election results.
-Trump became the first Republican candidate since 2004 to win the popular vote, signaling broader support during a contentious campaign season.
-Trump’s victory also secured Republican control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, reinforcing his party’s legislative power.
-Trump’s post-2020 election legal battles remain relevant, with a dismissed federal case in Washington, DC, and an ongoing state case in Georgia. His victory reaffirms his influence within the Republican Party, many of whose members continue to support his disputed 2020 election claims.
