CNN —Kamala Harris is set Monday to do what nearly every vice president before her has done — certify the incoming president’s election. Some of those rioters called for then-Vice President Mike Pence to be hanged as he declined to contest the results of the 2020 election. Even as Harris will certify Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, the president-elect has telegraphed plans to grant pardons to those convicted for their roles in the Capitol riot. Most recently, Vice President Al Gore certified his own razor-thin loss to President George W. Bush in 2001, rejecting multiple objections by lawmakers on behalf of his own candidacy. In 1969, then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey skipped the certification of his loss to Nixon, instead attending the funeral of the UN secretary general.
