Congressional lawmakers officially certified President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory on Monday in a subdued session that confirmed Trump as only the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms.
The certification process, which took just over 30 minutes, solidified Trump’s place alongside President Grover Cleveland, who served non-consecutive terms in 1885 and 1893.
Republicans celebrated the certification as a pivotal step toward advancing Mr. Trump’s agenda. As the electoral votes for Mr. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were read aloud, applause erupted along party lines.
“The Republican coalition is broad and strong and growing,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, South Dakota Republican, before the certification. “Now, the work begins of delivering our agenda. … Republicans are ready to go.”
Vice President-elect J.D. Vance of Ohio sat in the front row while Kamala Harris was forced to confirm Trump defeated her.
“We accept the results — even though we don’t like them — because our loyalties lie with the Constitution and with the rule of law,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said in floor remarks ahead of the certification. “We hope what happens today, rather than what happened four years ago, stands as a shining example for future generations of how one conducts themselves in a free democracy.”
WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT, ARMOR UP DAILY & PUT YOUR WHOLE TRUST IN GOD, NOT MAN!!!!!
