The US Congress has confirmed Joe Biden as the 46th President of United States and Kamala Harris as vice president following chaos where Donald Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill that left 4 people dead.
The Associated Press (AP) reports the House and Senate certified the Democrat’s electoral college win early Thursday after a violent throng of pro-Trump rioters spent hours Wednesday running rampant through the Capitol.
Trump, who spent months stoking the anger of his supporters with false claims that the election was stolen and refused to condemn the violent protesters on Wednesday.
According to the Washington Post, Trump said in a statement early Thursday that he would respect the results of the election.
“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th.”
Thirteen Republican senators and dozens of GOP representatives had planned to force debate and votes on perhaps six different states’ votes.
