Imagine losing the election and then having to announce the lost legally

[TilasTZ]

She spent over a billion dollars to certify Trump

[Yoshixandir]

The fact that she had to certify his victory with tons of applause and then having to say that she lost with a much bigger applause lol damn

"WE ARE NOW UNBURDENED BY WHAT HAS BEEN"

Every time I watch the House, I see a group of childish enemies. They can never come together as one for the sake of the country. What they do is for their own personal gain and satisfaction. Instead of being good sports and agreeing to run America like a group of civilized human beings, they have chosen to be enemies and keep America at war with itself. I hope that these people finally take their oath of office seriously and start doing the duty of the people vice the duty of themselves. What a mess.

I hate the idea that only half the room applauds for a candidate. Why can't we respect each other and either clap for both or clap for neither?

"I grew up in a middle class family, therefore I certify this election"

[CindyBartz]

Man, this had to be so emotional for her.

[jimtingler]

I got to hand it to her she did it sober.

[kevbrix]

Notice there were not any sore losers causing chaos and rioting outside of the building as this happened?

[matheusbarbosa]

There is nothing more satisfying than being certified by your defeated oponent.

[GodsOath_com]

Thank you Kamala D Harris for doing your job without acting like a victim.

[tomimpala]

Hilary had to attend the inauguration, Kamala had to certify the election.

[geise]

Wow! This went a hell of a lot quicker than last time....

[BetoLopez-hv]

"Excuse me, what's today's date?"

[WeThePeopleNotSheeple]

Unburdened by what has been....thank you lord

[kidshyne]

She handled this well, which gave me a newfound respect for her. Regardless, I still see ignorant and brainwashed comments in this section still spewing hatred towards her. These people are exactly what's wrong with our country nowadays. We are the UNITED states of America. It's not necessary to hate the opposing side or candidate, we're all on the same team striving for the same goal of greatness, just different opinions on how to get there. Grow up, show some education/respect, and let's put the division behind us... we have TONS of work to do

[michaelparsons]

ABC will be in mourning for years to come.

[darkiceywolf]

I like to admire it you can tell it was hard on her but she did it any how. However it proves the point she didn't wine and complain when she lost like Trump did neither did any of her supporters try to storm the capital.

[ninethetwotailedfox]

the fact she had to certify his win too after losing... that's gotta be painful LMAOO
