The US Congress on Thursday, January 7, 2021, certified Joe Biden’s win in November’s presidential election despite a mob siege on the Capitol on Wednesday.

Republican Vice President Mike Pence certified the Electoral College count of 306 electors in favor of the Democrat against 232 in favor of outgoing Republican President Donald Trump.

Pence also announced that Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) was the winner of the vice presidency.

The tally followed a joint session of the House and Senate that was interrupted by supporters of the president who stormed the US Capitol, bringing violence and mayhem to the seat of government.
