On January 6, 2025, Congress officially certified Donald Trump’s presidential victory, with Vice President Kamala Harris presiding. Amid heavy security due to a winter storm, the event marked the four-year anniversary of the 2021 Capitol riot. Unlike in 2021, there were no objections raised, reflecting a return to traditional voting procedures. President Biden emphasized the importance of peaceful transitions, while Pence praised Harris for her role. Despite past turmoil, lawmakers proceeded with the electoral confirmation, underscoring a commitment to uphold democracy.
