Thousands of supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump, who have
refused to abide by the result of the polls
, stormed Congress on January 6 and forced the evacuation of legislators and Vice President
Mike Pence
, who was leading the session in which Joe Biden's victory was to be certified.
Despite the deployment of
340 National Guard soldiers
to a protest that expected some 15,000 participants, including right-wing radicals and white supremacists, the authorities had to ask nearby police forces and 150 other guards for help on the march to regain control of the city.
After almost four hours of assault by Trump supporters, who marched towards Congress at the urging of the outgoing president himself, lawmakers from both parties considered it important to
resume the session that interrupted
the unprecedented insurrection in Washington on
the same night on Wednesday
.
Finally, the US Congress ratified this Thursday the result of the November elections, and the outgoing president, Donald Trump, finally committed to an "orderly transition" of power to the elected president, Joe Biden.
