The US Congress has approved the election of Donald Trump as the 47th president.
Congress has confirmed Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. The decision was announced by Kamala Harris and was the last formal step before Trump takes office and takes over America’s most important office. As Reuters noted, the certification of the electoral votes happened “like clockwork”, unlike four years ago.
On Monday, the US Congress officially announced Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election. This officially concludes the selection process for the 47th President of the United States. The process of confirming the electoral college was led by Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States and acting Senate president who lost to Trump in the race for the White House.

At the end of the House and Senate meeting, it was Harris who announced that Donald Trump had won the election with 312 electoral votes. She herself obtained 226 of them. The Congressional action was the last formal step before Republicans assumed power in the United States. The inauguration ceremony for the second term will be held on January 20th.

“Today was obviously a very important day, a day about what should be the norm and what Americans can accept as a given. “One of the pillars is the peaceful transfer of power,” Kamala Harris said after the proceedings.
Reuters stressed that the entire process took place “like clockwork” without any disruption. The agency said this is a sharp contrast to the situation four years ago, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol after losing a duel with Joe Biden. So far, the billionaire has reiterated that 2020’s failures are the result of “widespread fraud.”
