Official certification
The Congress met in Washington, covered with a layer of snow, today, to officially ratify the election of Trump as president of the United States, four years after a crowd of his supporters stormed the Capitol building in an unsuccessful attempt to cancel his loss in the 2020 elections.
Trump continued to claim that his defeat in 2020 was the result of large-scale fraud, and he warned throughout his 2024 campaign saying that he had similar fears, until he managed to beat his Democratic rival Harris vice president Joe Biden in the elections last November.
