How Congress will certify Trump's Electoral College victory on Jan. 6

The article from MSN outlines the process by which Congress will certify Donald Trump's victory in the Electoral College on January 6, 2025. This ceremonial event, mandated by the U.S. Constitution, involves both the House of Representatives and the Senate meeting in a joint session to count and certify the electoral votes. Vice President Kamala Harris, in her role as President of the Senate, will preside over the session. The process includes opening the certificates from each state, reading the votes aloud, and then certifying the results. Although typically a formality, this session can become contentious if members of Congress object to the electoral votes from any state, requiring both chambers to debate and vote on the objection. However, given the current political climate and the results of the election, the certification is expected to proceed smoothly with Trump's victory being officially recognized.
