The US Congress officially confirmed Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election, securing 312 Electoral College votes against Vice President Kamala Harris’s 226. The session, held on the anniversary of the 2021 Capitol riots, was marked by heavy attendance despite snowfall in Washington, D.C.
Vice President Harris, who presided over the vote, emphasized her impartiality in fulfilling her “sacred obligation.” The results were announced without objections, and the session concluded with applause for Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance. Trump is set to be sworn in as president on January 20.
