Jon Stewart on Kamala Harris certifying Donald Trump’s election

After a three-week hiatus, Jon Stewart is back at the desk of “The Daily Show” to talk about how Vice President Kamala Harris certified Donald Trump’s presidential election, which of course took place on the four-year anniversary of the Capitol insurrection.

“What a historic day it is in Washington, DC. As many of you know, it is January 6th. And as you can see, a blanket of angry white is once again descending on the Capitol,” Stewart said as he showed a photo of the U.S. Capitol covered in snow on the screen. “Strangely enough, this white is not that disturbing. It caused a lot of traffic, but a lot less bear spray and Confederate flags.”

January 6 is traditionally the day the current vice president will certify the votes for the new president. Stewart was quick to point out the awkward fact that Harris, who lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election, had to act as “master of ceremonies” for the event.

Stewart played a clip of Harris reading the number of votes Trump received in Florida, followed by thunderous applause from some of the watching congressmen.

‘That must sting. She says, ‘Um, I can hear you,'” Stewart joked. “That’s like attending your own funeral, and even the mourners say, ‘Woohoo!’ I can’t imagine anything that would be more awkward than sitting there with the crowd cheering on your opponent.”

Stewart then played a clip of Harris announcing her own votes from California, which was also received with applause.

“Wait! That sounded louder,” Stewart said. “There’s a lot of joy in that room. I think she can still win this thing! She just needs them to find 130,000 votes in Georgia! And then some in Michigan , Pennsylvania and maybe Wisconsin.”

Stewart continued, “But in the end, the certification ceremony we all look forward to every four years since I was a child went off without a hitch. Because it’s amazing how smoothly our democracy works when you don’t act like a little bitch when you lose. Don’t mention names! Just saying.”
