Like Comer, House GOP Policy Committee Chair Kevin Hern, R-Okla., remarked on how calm the process was.
"Everybody accepts the fact that President Trump won the Electoral College and the popular vote. So there really isn't much of a denial by the Democrats, that he didn't have a mandate to do his agenda. And we're going to make sure we help him get it done," Hern told Fox News Digital.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said Monday marked "a great day in American history."
"We have no time to waste. We've got to get right to work immediately, ASAP, as soon as humanly possible," Mace said.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, emphasized Republicans' commanding victory in the November elections, telling Fox News Digital, "It was a clear mandate from the voters, and we now need to get to work delivering on that mandate."

First-term lawmaker Rep. Mike Haridolopos, R-Fla., said he was excited to now begin executing the GOP's agenda and remarked on the snow storm that shut down much of Washington, D.C. save for Capitol Hill on Monday.
"I think we're all excited to get started with the Republican trifecta," he said. "I'm so excited about it and glad it's behind us. It took a snow day to make it happen, but we are definitely here and ready to go to work."

No Democrats raised objections to Trump's victory, unlike 2016, which saw several progressives cast doubt on his win.

"I think that just showed that America is really ready for… a new page and a new start," Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said of the certification. "You saw that, at least on the Republican side, that we were pretty excited about the results for our elections."
And Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., another Florida lawmaker and ally of Trump, told Fox News Digital, "We're happy that we had no issue with certification, no contesting of the certification. And everyone's very happy that we have Donald J. Trump and JD Vance in the White House, in the Naval Observatory, and we're ready to make America great again."
