Congress confirmed the victory of Joseph Biden in the presidential elections in the country. Both houses of parliament accepted the electoral votes cast on 14 December.
Thus, the Democrat will become the 46th President of the United States. The inauguration is due on January 20. Along with Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former California Attorney General, also won the vote .
Since the voting results were approved by parliament, any constitutional opportunity to challenge the election results is no longer available. In this regard, the elections can be considered officially completed, and their result - final.
The parliamentarians were supposed to approve the election results earlier, but the meeting was interrupted due to riots staged by supporters of the incumbent President Donald Trump. Part of the protesters was taken by storm the Capitol during the events. The protesters managed to get to the US Senate conference room, but the senators were evacuated before that.
On November 3, presidential elections were held in the USA, as well as the House of Representatives. Biden, a Democratic speaker, won the presidential election. He received 306 electoral votes (270 is required to win). Trump received 232 votes. The current American leader insisted that the elections were flawed and repeatedly tried to get the results reconsidered.
