Harris will certify Trump’s win — and her own loss — four years after the Capitol riot
CNNCNN — Kamala Harris is set Monday to do what nearly every vice president before her has done — certify the incoming president’s election. Four years later, Harris, who was dramatically and unprecedentedly thrust to the top of the Democratic ticket in July and whose 100-day sprint to the November election ended in defeat, will have to formally certify her own loss — and Trump’s victory. Harris’ role on Monday, a White House official told CNN, “will be solely ministerial.” “The vice president understands that our democracy requires elected leaders who have taken the sacred oath of office and everyday citizens alike to actively preserve it,” a senior Harris aide said. “It is with this deep sense of responsibility and duty in mind that the vice president will certify the presidential election on January 6 and reaffirm the will of the American people,” the aide added.
