Trump won: Presidential Election Results Certified

By Thérèse Boudreaux | The Center Square

(Worthy News) – Congress has officially certified the 2024 election results, confirming President-elect Donald Trump as the next Commander in Chief of the United States and Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, as the next vice president.

The count verified that Trump and Vance won 312 Electoral College votes – well over the 270 needed for victory – while Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz received 226 votes.

“CONGRESS CERTIFIES OUR GREAT ELECTION VICTORY TODAY – A BIG MOMENT IN HISTORY. MAGA!” Trump posted on social media.

As vice president, Harris formally presided over the counting ceremony, where no objections to the results were raised.

“Today, I will perform my constitutional duty as vice president to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation – one I will uphold guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and unwavering faith in the American people,” Harris said in a video released Monday.

Democrats contrasted the 2025 proceedings, which took roughly 30 minutes, with the ceremony four years ago, when a group of pro-Trump protesters entered the capitol building and disrupted the electoral certification process.

“Thankful for the heroic police officers who defended the Capitol against a violent mob on January 6, 2021. We will never forget your sacrifice or let others whitewash the lawlessness and treachery of that day,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said on X.

“Today, @HouseDemocrats will vote to certify the results of the 2024 election. Because we are democracy believers, not election deniers. Because we will always honor the will of the people, not bow to the dictates of one man,” House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass.

Republicans have largely ignored the anniversary, focusing instead on Trump’s victory.

“Today was far more than a procedural act. It marks the start of a new Golden Age of America: a time to reclaim our strength, rebuild our prosperity, and reestablish true leadership,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer posted on X following the count. “The work ahead is critical, and under our 47th President, @realDonaldTrump, we will Make America Great Again.”

Trump and Vance will take office on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day.
