The United States Congress affirmed Joe Biden's victory over President Trump with electoral college votes certifying despite violent protests at Capitol.
Joe Biden has officially certified as the next President of the United States on Thursday.
The affirmation comes despite violent protests from Donald Trump supporters storming the US Capitol, forcing a delay in the electoral vote certification.
On Wednesday, shortly after lawmakers gathered in a joint session to certify Biden’s victory, the supports of Donald Trump supporters who had packed the streets of Washington, D.C., turned violent, breaching police barricades and storming the Capitol building.
After the 2020 United States presidential election in which challenger Joe Biden prevailed, incumbent Donald Trump, as well as his presidential campaign and his proxies, pursued an aggressive, unprecedented effort to deny and overturn the results.
Trump and his allies falsely alleged that an international communist conspiracy, rigged voting machines, and polling place fraud had stolen the election from Trump.
These claims of election fraud were rejected as totally meritless by numerous state and federal judges, state and local election officials, governors, the Justice and Homeland Security departments, and the Electoral College. (ILKHA)
