Congress officially certified President-elect Donald Trump's victory on Monday, following the violent attack on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol. Vice President Kamala Harris oversaw the proceedings as president of the Senate, ensuring a smooth Electoral College vote count with no objections or disturbances.
The mood during the certification was cordial and calm, with Republicans cheering for states won by Trump and Democrats applauding for states won by Harris. Increased security measures were in place both inside the Capitol building and surrounding areas, with police presence at every corner.
