Watch moment Kamala Harris certifies US election result

The US Congress on Monday formally certified the incoming president's re-election in a special session.

Vice-President Kamala Harris, who Donald Trump defeated in the 2024 election, presided over the event as required by the US Constitution.

The certification is normally a symbol of America's commitment to the peaceful transfer of power despite partisan disagreements.

After the number of electoral college votes were read out from each state, Harris certified that Trump won the US presidency.
