See the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022.

The president of the Senate’s role is now formally limited to “ministerial duties.” The sitting vice president has “no power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate or resolve disputes over the proper list of electors, the validity of electors, or the votes of electors.”

Good summary at the link with a note of caution:

State or county boards of election could refuse to certify election results or impose standards that would delay counting. This could prevent a rival party from claiming Electoral College votes from that state, or it might encourage a state legislature to install its own slate of electors–regardless of the new federal law.

While the Electoral Count Reform Act has stabilized elements of presidential elections, the rest of the system is still being tested. Unless the election results are decisive, expect legal and political challenges to once again extend the cycle into 2025.
