14 Dez 2020 Jahr - US Electoral College officially affirmed Joe Biden’s win

Beschreibung:

On December 14, the electoral college officially affirmed Joe Biden’s win after gathering to submit their ballots. Despite this ruling, many Republicans are still claiming fraud, and the election battle appears to be far from over. On December 16, Senator Mitch McConnell congratulated Joe Biden and asked that no Congress members stage any stunts regarding these results. McConnell’s actions are a blow to Trump’s argument of fraud.

On December 19, a meeting at the White House turned into a screaming match after attendees suggested President Trump enact martial law to overturn the election. Michael Flynn was the most outspoken regarding this tactic, but others argued that President Trump should do an executive order that allows the government to inspect voting machines. That same day, Twitter updated its election misinformation warning labels to say that Joe Biden won the election. (CNN)
