Congress certifies Joe Biden’s victory

US lawmakers have certified Joe Biden’s election victory, hours after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, writes BBC.


US Vice-President Mike Pence started the resumed session on Wednesday evening, in which lawmakers counted and confirmed electoral votes, saying it had been a “dark day in the history of the United States Capitol”.


Some Republican lawmakers’ objections to overturn the result in Arizona and Pennsylvania were rejected. The session certified Biden’s 306 votes to Trump’s 232.
