WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's presidential win is going to be certified in Congress in January by the candidate he beat, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Under the Constitution, the vice president is the head of the Senate, and it's the role of the Senate president to declare the result of a White House election.
That happens Jan. 6.
Under normal circumstances, the vote-tallying procedure performed by the vice president is a mere formality and it's the final step in the complicated technical process of electing a new administration.
