Harris to oversee certification of her defeat to Trump in presidential election: ‘Sacred obligation’

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to do what only two other vice presidents in recent history have done – preside over her defeat in a White House election.

On Monday afternoon, Harris will oversee a joint session of Congress, when lawmakers will certify President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over the current vice president in November’s election.

The vice president said her mission is to ensure a peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next.
