The United States Congress is scheduled to certify Donald Trump's presidential election victory on Monday, with the ceremony taking place exactly four years after he incited a violent mob to disrupt a similar event. The proceedings will be presided over by Kamala Harris and will feature a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Kamala Harris
Democratic Party
1. Today 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 that there will be a peaceful transfer of power.
Joe Biden
Democratic Party
1. We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault. And we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year.
2. We cannot allow the truth to be lost.
3. An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite -- even erase -- the history of that day.
Aquilino Gonell
US Capitol Police
1. I sometimes wonder why I risked my life to defend our elected officials from a mob inspired by Mr Trump.
Tom Manger
US Capitol Police
1. What message does that send to police officers across this nation, if someone doesn't think that a conviction for an assault or worse against a police officer is something that should be upheld, given what we ask police officers to do every day?
