For all of their speak about ‘our democracy’ Democrats have a horrible observe document in the case of certifying Republican wins. They normally object and that’s what everybody anticipated at present.
Surprisingly, that didn’t happen today, and it was the primary time since 1988. Are you able to imagine it?
Right here’s an essential flashback:

All the things was completely different this time.
WJLA News reported:
Congress certifies Trump’s election victory with no objections
Lawmakers in Congress shortly licensed President-elect Donald Trump’s November election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in an objection-free ceremony that units the stage for him to return to the White Home in two weeks.
The largely ceremonial occasion inched the nation one step nearer to the fruits of Trump’s return to energy after leaving workplace in defeat following the Capitol riot 4 years in the past that had some Republicans questioning whether or not to discover a new particular person to guide the social gathering ahead.
Congress shortly licensed Trump’s 312-226 Electoral Faculty victory over Harris with no objections, two weeks earlier than Trump returns to the White Home on Jan. 20 and change into the nation’s forty seventh president…
The certification was overseen by Harris, who’s constitutionally obligated to preside over the joint session of Congress to formally rely the Electoral Faculty votes, one other blunt reminder of her election loss to Trump. She has largely stayed out of public view since shedding the election as she weighs what the longer term holds for her, together with one other potential presidential run.
Folks famous the historic side on Twitter/x.
Right this moment was the primary time that not a single Congressional Democrat objected to the victory of a Republican presidential candidate since 1988.

That is the primary time Democrats have accepted a presidential election they misplaced since 1988. (e.g. in 2000 they stated Bush by way of SCOTUS was “chosen, not elected”; in 2004, claimed Karl Rove rigged Ohio voting machines; in 2016 alleged Trump stole by colluding with Russia and so forth and so forth)
