In an astonishing telescoping, the Congress will meet this Wednesday at the beginning of the afternoon to formally record the vote of the voters in favor of Joe Biden. The outcome of this constitutional obligation is clear: Joe Biden will become president. But Donald Trump’s crusade gives this day a special tone. “The vice president has the power to reject fraudulently chosen voters,” the president tweeted. Wrongly. Mike Pence will preside over the joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate which will formalize the vote of 190 big voters in favor of Joe Biden against 232 for Donald Trump. But, according to the Constitution, his role is to “open” the certificates sent by each of the 46 States to transmit the votes of their grand voters. Only elected officials can dispute the results in certain states.
14 h 56 : A little more waiting
It is likely that, as with the presidential election, the media are waiting that the Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff exceeds the half-point lead in the count to announce his victory. Above half a point in advance, there is no recount of ballots possible Currently, we are at +0, 37 for Jon Ossoff, or about 16. 000 voice.
14 h 20: Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff claims victory this Wednesday
“Georgia, thank you for the trust you have placed in me”, he announced during a brief statement, as his opponent, the outgoing David Lost, did not concede defeat.
The mainstream American media have not yet announced the winner of this tight ballot. But if this result is confirmed, the Democrats will take control of the US Senate, giving Joe Biden all the levers of power when he arrives at the White House on 16 January.
