2024 Election Certification and Party Response
The results of the 2024 election have been officially certified, with Vice President Kamala Harris presiding over the electoral vote tally, thereby declaring Donald Trump as the next president. This certification has sparked discussions regarding the Democratic Party's past behaviors during elections, particularly their objections to Republican victories in the years 2000, 2004, and 2016. Interestingly, this marks the first time since 1988 that no Democrats have objected to the Republican presidential candidate's victory. The event is framed within the context of continuing to remember the January 6 attack on the Capitol, yet some argue that oversensationalizing this incident may detract from its true significance.
