Harris: "A Good Day - Peaceful Transfer of Power"
On Monday, Kamala Harris, in her role as vice president and Senate leader, accepted the results of the election she lost to Donald Trump.
Harris was reserved and formal, standing next to Republican Speaker Mike Johnson as the electoral votes were read. After declaring Trump the winner, she smiled as Republicans applauded, writes the AP.
"It's a peaceful transfer of power. It's a good day," she told reporters on her way out.
Trump received 321 electoral votes, and Harris 226.
It all happened on the day four years after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in connection with then-Vice President Mike Pence's refusal to annul Joe Biden's election victory.

US Congress Approves Trump's Election Victory
The US Congress has approved the election results in this fall's presidential election, which means that Donald Trump will become the country's president on January 20. This is reported by American media.
The members have counted all 538 electoral votes. Donald Trump took home 312 of them, far more than the 270 required.
There has been a large security operation around Capitol Hill in Washington DC ahead of the ceremony. It was at the same ceremony in 2021 that Donald Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the process after the Republican's false accusations of election fraud.
Mike Pence's tribute to Harris: "Admirable
Former US Vice President Mike Pence is praising Kamala Harris after Congress approved the results of the presidential election on Monday.
“Peaceful transfer of power is a cornerstone of our democracy,” he writes on X, calling it “especially admirable” that Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the results, given that she herself lost to Trump as a presidential candidate.
Accepting the election results is the job of the vice president. Mike Pence drew the ire of his former boss, Donald Trump, and his supporters on January 6, 2021, when he refused to declare the election results null and void.
