Kamala Harris will preside over the certification of Donald Trump's election victory on January 6, 2025. This date marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol attack, which Trump incited during the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 win. Harris, as Vice President, faces a unique situation, having to certify her political rival's victory. This is a rare occurrence for a vice president who has run for president, similar to past instances involving Al Gore and Richard Nixon. The upcoming certification follows Trump's controversial presidency and the events of January 6, 2021, when a mob stormed the Capitol. Despite previous impeachment efforts against Trump, he won the 2024 election with 312 electoral votes.
