Kamala Harris 1:30
It was obviously a very important day, and it was about what should be the norm and what the American people should be able to take for granted, which is that one of the most important pillars of our democracy is is that there will be a peaceful transfer of power. And today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, which included today performing my constitutional duties to ensure that the people of America, the voters of America, will have their votes counted, that those votes matter, and that they will determine then the outcome of an election. I do believe very strongly that America's democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. Every single person, their willingness to fight for and respect the importance of our democracy. Otherwise it is very fragile and it will not be able to withstand.
Kamala Harris 2:39
moments of crisis. And today, America's democracy stood.
Political Commentator 2:45
That was Vice President Kamala Harris after she carried out her constitutional duty and had the electoral votes certified in favor of her electoral opponent, Donald Trump. But yeah, take a look here. This is an interesting stat by C-SPAN. The time it took joint sessions of Congress to certify electoral votes. This was always an administerial task until January 6, 2021, when Trump led an insurrection against our great nation to try to overthrow our democracy. And you heard what Vice President Kamala Harris was saying there in her speech after certifying the electoral votes, which is we're going to lose our democracy if we don't fight for it each and every day and care about how precious that it is.
Political Commentator 3:37
In 2009, the January 6th counting of electoral votes was 36 minutes. In 2013, it was 22 minutes. in 2017 it took 41 minutes in 2021 it took 14 hours and 48 minutes because of the insurrection today in 2025 it took 30 minutes i want to share with you just another example of vice president kamala harris's dignity and grace even in the face of being treated horribly by her political opponents. So this took place as well. One of the things that Vice President Kamala Harris, as the president of the Senate, is obligated to do under the Constitution is to swear in the senators for each term. So she was swearing in Nebraska's senior senator, Deb Fischer. for the 119th Congress. And I want you to watch here as MAGA Republican Senator Deb Fischer's husband refuses to shake hands with Vice President Kamala Harris. Here, play this clip. Thank you.
