Harris will oversee certification of her defeat to Trump four years after he sparked Capitol attack

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday is set to preside over the certification of her defeat to Donald Trump four years after he tried to stop the very process that will now return him to the White House. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump’s transition team and the incoming White House press secretary, said there will be “a smooth transition of power.” “When Kamala Harris certifies the election results, President Trump will deliver on his promise to serve ALL Americans and will unify the country through success,” she said in a statement. Trump posted on social media that “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.” Police eventually cleared the rioters from the building, and lawmakers reconvened to finish their certification. “And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know history will hold Donald Trump accountable.” Trump faced criminal charges for trying to stay in power despite losing.
