“Today I did what I have done my entire career,” Harris says on presiding over Trump's election certification
Vice President Kamala Harris spoke today about presiding over the counting of the Electoral College votes so Congress could officially certify Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
“Today I did what I have done my entire career,” she said Monday, noting she adhered to her oath of supporting and defending the Constitution.
Harris said she performed her constitutional duties of ensuring that voters “will have their votes counted.”
“I do believe very strongly that America’s democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it,” she added. “Today, America’s democracy stood.”
Speaking about the constitutional process of election certification, Harris said it is something Americans “should be able to take for granted.”
“Today was obviously a very important day and it was about what should be the norm and what the American people should be able to take for granted, which is that one of the most important pillars of our democracy is that there will be a peaceful transfer of power,” Harris told reporters.
