Конгресс подтвердил победу Трампа на выборах.

Supporters of Trump stormed the Capitol, interrupting the session of senators who were set to certify the election results. Legislators and Vice President Mike Pence were evacuated. The procedure resumed only many hours later, after the arriving National Guard units cleared the building of rioters. The Capitol's decor suffered significant damage. Several people lost their lives during the clashes.

This year, BBC reports, despite assurances from current President Joe Biden that the violence of four years ago will not be repeated, security measures have been heightened in Washington.

The certification of presidential elections is mandated by the U.S. Constitution.

The inauguration of the elected U.S. President Donald Trump will take place on January 20.
