US Senate reconvenes to certify Biden win after mobs invaded Capitol
WASHINGTON, Jan 7, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – The US Senate reconvened late Wednesday and resumed the process of certifying Joe Biden’s presidential election victory, after a mob protesting Donald Trump’s defeat violently invaded the Capitol building.
“As we reconvene in this chamber, the world will again witness the resilience and strength of our democracy,” Vice President Mike Pence said as he brought the Senate into session.
“To those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins, freedom wins,” Pence added. “And this is still the people’s house.”
