MEGHNA CHAKRABARTI: Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik represents New York's 21st congressional district. She is one of President-elect Donald Trump's most loyal supporters. And that loyalty has been rewarded. Trump has picked Stefanik to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations when his new administration takes office in 13 days.

Now, yesterday happens to be the fourth anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riots and attacks on the United States Congress. The certification of Trump's win went smoothly yesterday, his 2024 win. Unlike 2021, when Trump supporters violently attacked police officers, defecated in the halls of Congress and forced the halt of the peaceful certification of a free and fair election. On that day, January 6, 2021, Trump in his first presidency sat in the Oval Office and watched the entire attack unfold on television.
