US Congress certifies Biden presidential win

US Congress has certified Electoral College win of Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris officially making them the next president and vice president of United States

This happens after a chaotic day of protest on Capitol Hill that saw pro-Trump rioters breach the building.

The certification finalizes the 2020 US electoral process and ensures that Biden and Harris will be inaugurated on January 20 despite Trump’s weeks-long efforts to overturn the vote

A majority of US House of Representatives voted down a move by allies of Trump to reject the electoral votes

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has declared a state of emergency in the capital for 15 days following the invasion of Congress by pro-Trump protesters.
