@dailymail: Vice President Kamala Harris fulfilled her constitutional duty of certifying the electoral votes from the 2024 presidential election, a unique and humiliating finale to her truncated White House bid. Taking her place at the center of the House floor next to Republican Speaker Mike Johnson during a joint session of Congress featuring both the Senate and the House of Representatives, Harris was forced to listen state-by-state to the results from the 2024 election. The moment had to have been humiliating for Harris, who repeatedly called the president-elect a threat to democracy, a fascist, 'petty tyrant' and aspiring dictator. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, a current senator from Ohio, sat in the front row looking on without expression, clapping mildly - at times unenthusiastically - as the states he and Donald Trump won were read aloud. Methodically, after the votes from each of the states and U.S. territories were counted and confirmed, Harris proclaimed Trump and Vance victorious. 'Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes,' Harris said. Her pronouncement that Trump is to be the 47th president to a room full primarily of Republicans was met with load roars of approval and a standing ovation - a scene unimaginable four years prior after many GOP lawmakers in the room denounced the president-elect. 'Kamala Harris of the state of California received 226 votes,' she continued, this time Democrats standing and cheering her on. #news #politics #trump #kamala
