The results of the presidential election on November 5, 2024, won by Republican Donald Trump, became official after the Electoral College votes were counted in the joint session of Congress.
Shortly before Trump, who won the most important presidential race in the United States of recent times, takes the presidency for the second time, the final procedure of the election process was completed with a joint session in Congress.
In the joint session chaired by Kamala Harris, US Vice President and the Democratic candidate in the elections on November 5, the Electoral College votes of the states were read one by one.
During the session that formalized the election results procedurally, members of Congress applauded the winner after the names of each state were read, and there were occasionally exciting moments in the hall.
IT HAS BEEN OFFICIAL THAT HE WON THE ELECTION
After the vote count, it became official that Trump won the presidential election, reaching 312 Electoral College votes in total. Democrat Harris received the votes of 226 delegates, as in the elections.
Announcing the results of the voting in which the votes of 538 delegates were distributed, Harris’ upset moments were captured on camera when she stated that “Trump has earned the right to be the 47th president of the United States.”
HE WILL BE THE 47TH PRESIDENT OF THE USA
While Republican members of Congress stood and applauded when Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance were declared winners, Democrats only applauded Harris’ results.
4 years ago, on January 6, 2021, the Congress raid during the joint session of Congress to register the election results caused great debates and fractures in the American public.
Trump, who was president between 2016 and 2020 and lost against Joe Biden in the 2020 elections, won the elections on November 5 comfortably against Harris.
Trump, who will be sworn in as president for the second time on January 20, will serve as the 47th president of the United States.
