Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “US Congress certifies Joe Biden as next president, Harris as VP” – below is their description.
The US Congress has certified the Electoral College win of Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris officially making them the next president and vice president of the United States, after a chaotic day of protest on the Capitol Hill which saw pro-Trump rioters breach the building.
The certification finalises the 2020 US electoral process and ensures that Biden and Harris will be inaugurated on January 20, despite Trump’s weeks-long efforts to overturn the vote, including urging his supporters to converge on the Capitol on Wednesday, resulting in rioting inside and outside the building.
Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro joins us now live from Washington, DC for the latest updates.
