Klobuchar knows of no Democrats objecting to certifying Trump's win

• She joins a small club of other vice presidents throughout history who have had to oversee the affirmation of their loss through their role as the president of the Senate.
• Harris and the newly sworn-in Senate will operate under the updated Electoral Count Act, which makes objections harder to raise and safeguards them from delaying the certification process without sufficient congressional support.

Driving the news: Klobuchar said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that while she knows of no Democrats who plan to object to Trump's win, "the process allows for these objections."

• But she pointed to the Electoral Count Act, which raised the threshold for support of an objection to 20% of each congressional body. Previously, it took only one member of each chamber to challenge a state's electors.
• "That's [prolonged debate over objections] what was used as a trigger ... last January 6th, to slow down the process, and then, of course, ultimately seen by the insurrectionists as a way they could derail the will of the American people," Klobuchar told Jake Tapper.

• Over 140 Republicans objected to Biden's 2020 win.

The Electoral Count Act also clarified that the vice president's role is to announce the results — not to interfere in counting votes, as Trump and his team urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to do after Biden's win.
