When Kamala Harris presided over the Congressional certification of the electoral college votes on January 6, naming Donald J. Trump the winner of the 2024 contest, she adopted the stance of the righteous stateswoman, stoically restoring the norms that her opponent once sought to crush.

Harris could even be forgiven for caving to the temptation to take a dig at President-elect Trump in a video she released to her supporters just before carrying out her constitutional duties.
