Congress is ready to certify Trump's election win, but his Jan. 6 legacy hangs over the day

Congress plans to convene during a snowstorm to certify the 2024 election results for President-elect Donald Trump. Jan. 6 is the date required by law. But the legacy of Jan. 6, 2021, hangs over Monday's proceedings as the Republican who tried to overturn the previous election is legitimately returning to power. The tightest national security is in place, a reminder of what happened at the U.S. Capitol four years ago. Then, defeated Trump sent a mob to “fight like hell." No violence, protests or objections are expected this time. Republicans who challenged Trump's 2020 defeat support his White House return. Democrats frustrated by Trump’s victory accept the choice of the American voters.
