The Republican senator indeed announced this Wednesday that he would object to certification by the American Congress of the presidential election result next week, which could slightly delay, but not prevent, the confirmation of the victory of Democrat Joe Biden . The electoral college ratified the 12 December victory of Joe Biden In the United States, the tenant of the White House is chosen by indirect universal suffrage, and the electoral college has ratified the 14 December victory for Joe Biden. The Democrat of 40 years won 306 great voters against 190 to Donald Trump. The House and Senate are scheduled to meet on January 6 to certify these results, a procedure that is usually a mere formality. Vice-President Mike Pence will chair the meeting.

Concretely, this objection will provoke a debate and a vote in the Senate, which will therefore force the Republicans to vote publicly on the election of Joe Biden. In the House as in the Senate, there will not be enough votes to question the outcome of the November 3 presidential election, and these votes will not prevent Joe Biden from being certified as the winner. “This certification is just a formality,” said Joe Biden’s spokesperson Jen Psaki. And no matter what some do on January 6, President-elect Biden will be invested on 12 January as scheduled. “ Share this:TweetLike this:Like Loading...
