Tue Jan 07 14:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Congress to Certify Trump’s 2024 Victory, Four Years After Capitol Attack
**Washington, D.C.** – Congress is set to certify President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election this Monday, marking a stark contrast to the tumultuous events of four years prior. In 2021, a mob incited by Trump attacked the Capitol in a failed attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss. This year’s certification is expected to proceed with significantly less drama.
Trump’s inauguration will take place on Monday, January 20, 2025, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, at the U.S. Capitol building. The ceremony, planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC), will begin around noon ET and includes the swearing-in of both the president- and vice-president-elect, followed by the inaugural address and a pass in review.
The oaths of office, consistent with tradition and constitutional requirements, will be administered to both the President and Vice President. A limited number of free tickets to witness the event in person will be distributed by members of Congress in the coming weeks.
The 2025 inauguration will mark a return to a more routine process, a sharp departure from the unprecedented events that surrounded the certification of the 2020 election results.
