Jan. 6 election certification live updates: National Guard deploys 500 troops to US Capitol

Congress will take the last step to formalize President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris on Monday when it assembles in joint session to count the Electoral College votes.

The constitutionally mandated procedure is not expected to have any of the drama of four years ago, when supporters of the 45th president rioted over his defeat by then-candidate Joe Biden.

In an ironic twist, Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the count confirming her own defeat by Trump in the Nov. 5 election.
