The US Congress confirmed Trump’s victory in the election

According to Isna, the legislators of the US House of Representatives and the Senate met on Monday evening in a joint meeting to confirm the victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential election.

According to ABC News, the counting of electoral votes will take place exactly four years after thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol.

Although heightened security remains in place, the US network reported that Monday’s events are expected to mark a return to traditional ceremonial duties.

This year, US President Joe Biden emphasized the importance of America’s fundamental principle of peaceful transfer of power, but asked the citizens of this country to never forget what happened in 2021.

“We should be proud that our democracy has withstood this attack,” Biden wrote in an op-ed published by The Washington Post late Sunday. The American Congress) resisted and we should be happy that we will not witness such a shameful attack again this year.

On the other hand, in addition to Biden’s emphasis on the peaceful transfer of power to Trump, Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States, congratulated him on Trump’s victory and announced his defeat the day after the American presidential election.

Harris was in charge of issuing electoral certificates in the US Congress.

“This duty is a sacred duty, one that I support with love of country, loyalty to the Constitution and unwavering faith in the American people,” Harris said in a video message released early Monday.

During the ceremonial meeting, representatives from each state read the result aloud after Harris received the results of their state’s election.

At the end of the meeting, Harris confirmed Trump’s victory and congratulated him.

Harris added: “The status of the votes of the President of the United States that have been delivered to the President of the Senate is as follows; The total number of electoral votes is 538, of which Donald Trump, the elected president of the United States, has won 312 electoral votes.

It was previously reported that Trump won the US election by getting 312 Electoral College votes against Harris’ 226 electoral votes.

Trump recently claimed that his victory is a “mandate” from the American people to implement Trump’s plans on the economy, immigration and other areas.

He returns to the White House as Republicans control both the House and Senate.

Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States at his inauguration on January 20.
