Congress formally certifies Joe Biden as next US President after delay from mob siege on US Capitol
Telegraph, 07 Jan 2021
Mike Pence announced Congress' ratification of the outcome of the Electoral College vote, confirming Joe Biden's 306-232 victory over Donald Trump in November's presidential election.
The vote, which was originally scheduled to take place on Wednesday afternoon, was delayed after pro-Trump extremists stormed the US Capitol building following a rally held by the President in which he refused to concede the election.
Four people died in Washington, with one woman, a Trump supporter, shot in the Capitol building.
