WASHINGTON — The U.S. Congress formally certified Republican President-elect Donald Trump's November election victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, clearing the way for him to be sworn in on Jan. 20.
From the column: " We should still select the best candidate, male or female, but women, pantsuits and all, have come close twice. In pro football, it’s hard to beat the same team three times in a row."
From the editorial: "Harris, Trump, and their parties need to see the necessity of soothing their wounds so the rest of us can salve ours — so we can get back to working ... (for) our common good."
"America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate," Trump said early on Wednesday to a roaring crowd of supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida.
