Summary

On January 6, 2025, Congress will certify Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, four years after the Capitol riot aimed at overturning his 2020 defeat.

Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the session, which is expected to proceed without incident, as Democrats have accepted Trump’s win.

Unprecedented security measures are in place to prevent a repeat of the 2021 attack.

Over 1,500 people have been charged for the riot, with Trump pledging to pardon some after taking office on January 20.

    I think you’re going to have a pretty sort of normal transfer, and I think we will respect the wishes of the American people …

    Yeah, why fight it. We had an election and the outcome was very clear.
