REPORT: Kamala Harris To Play Surprising Role On January 6th

Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over Congress on January 6, 2025, to certify President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The date, etched into recent memory for its association with the Capitol breach of 2021, will now take on a different meaning: the formal transfer of power to the man many Democrats once blamed for that chaos. This time, however, the session is expected to proceed without objection.

Trump clinched 312 electoral votes to Harris’s 226, solidifying his path to become the 47th president. Democrats, for their part, appear resigned to the results, and reports suggest no plans to disrupt the certification process. According to Politico, Harris will oversee the proceedings by the book. Democrats have indicated they will not object to Trump’s certification. Meanwhile, Republicans are racing to ensure the House has a speaker in place to avoid disruptions during the session.

As vice president, she is constitutionally required to tally the Electoral College votes, even if it means confirming her own defeat. This unique obligation has placed other vice presidents—like Al Gore in 2001 and Richard Nixon in 1961—in similarly uncomfortable positions. It is a bitter pill for Democrats, who once framed the date as a rallying cry against Trump’s alleged threats to democracy. Now, Harris herself will deliver the gavel that certifies his comeback.

Democrats have indicated they will not interfere with Trump’s electoral victory, signaling a departure from previous sessions where nominal objections were raised. According to her staff, Harris is committed to performing her constitutional duties during the certification. Moreover, the general expectation among lawmakers is that the events of January 6, 2025, will unfold smoothly, with little of the controversy that has marked earlier counts.

Politico interviewed the group of Democrats who objected to some of Trump’s electors in 2017. This time, they have no plans to repeat such actions. They view their 2017 objections as symbolic gestures, not expected to overturn the results, and believe recent events highlight the importance of demonstrating faith in the power transition process.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) explained her decision, saying, “I’m not intending to do that again, because I think that people don’t differentiate.” She further clarified, “I think there was a clear difference between what we did and what he does.”

Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), the leading Democrat on the House committee responsible for election oversight, expressed his confidence in the upcoming transition. “I think you’re going to have a pretty sort of normal transfer, and I think we will respect the wishes of the American people … in contrast to what happened January 6, 2021,” he stated. “I do feel like that’s worth saying over and over again.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who has raised objections multiple times and insinuated ways to prevent Trump from taking office, mentioned that he hasn’t come across any Democrats intending to object this time around. He anticipates that his party members will act as “constitutional patriots.”

For now, the irony hangs heavy in the air, as Kamala Harris prepares to usher Donald Trump back into the presidency.
