U.S. Congress Confirms Trump’s Presidential Victory

Traditionally, this procedure is a straightforward formality preceding the official inauguration of the new president, scheduled for January 20th. What can we expect from this inauguration ceremony?

Trump Returns to the White House

Donald Trump, the Republican billionaire, has been officially declared the winner of the U.S. presidential election, marking his triumphant return to the White House.

In a twist of fate, his Democratic rival and outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris announced his victory, stating, “Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes,” highlighting the Republican’s lead over his opponents.

A Certification Wrapped in Memories

The certification occurred on the exact four-year anniversary of the Capitol riot by Trump supporters, a day that remains etched in memory. On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump’s followers stormed the Capitol, unleashing a wave of violence.

Four people in the crowd died that day, and several police officers subsequently took their own lives in the days and weeks that followed. Today, the Capitol Hill resembles an impregnable fortress, heavily guarded by police and surrounded by high barriers.

Trump’s Promise to His Supporters

Despite these tragic events, Trump managed to retain the trust of many voters. Indeed, a majority did not blame him for the Capitol assault in the last elections.

The Republican even vowed to consider potential pardons for his supporters involved in the attack from his “first day” back in office. This decision has already sparked criticism from Democrats and some of the police officers present during the attack.

Trump’s return to the White House thus begins a new era for the United States, one that promises to be full of twists and turns.
