Harris To Certify Trump's Electoral Victory Four Years Post-capitol Riot

US Vice-President Kamala Harris will oversee the official certification of the results from November's presidential election in Congress on Monday - which she lost to Donald Trump.

This date also marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot when Trump's supporters attempted to disrupt the certification of Democratic President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.

Trumps victory represents a remarkable political resurgence following his electoral defeat 2020, along with a criminal conviction in 2024 - the first involving a current or former U.S. president.

Out of office, he has been embroiled in numerous legal battles, including those connected to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, which he continues to contest. After his loss in 2020, Trump and his supporters made unfounded claims of extensive voter fraud, asserting that the election had been stolen.

In his address in Washington, D.C., on the day of certification, January 6, 2021, Trump urged the audience to fight like hell while calling for them to peacefully express their opinions. He pressured his vice president, Mike Pence, to invalidate the election outcome, which Pence declined.
