The US Congress certified Monday that Donald Trump won the November election to become the nation’s 47th president, as lawmakers counted and affirmed the votes by the Electoral College.
“Donald J Trump of the state of Florida, has received 312 votes. Kamala D Harris of the State of California has received 226 votes,” Harris herself declared to assembled lawmakers after the counting was complete.
Harris — who oversaw the certification as part of her vice-presidential duties — said the official count “shall be deemed a sufficient declaration” for Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance to take their oaths of office on January 20.
