Summary

It’s Jan. 6 yet again, and this time, it will be the electoral college votes for President-elect Donald Trump getting certified at the U.S. Capitol building.

Over the course of the last four years, and even after the election results were declared for 2024, Trump has faced legal actions that raised questions over whether he could be rendered ineligible for reelection. Despite the pressure, and some recent doubts that were cast over the election certification, Republicans and Democrats in Congress appear to remain in support of a peaceful transition of power.
