Donald Trump’s reaction to the ratification of …

In the midst of an unreleased episode, which included the capture of the Capitol and ended in gunshot wounds and deaths, Donald Trump finally accepted the decision of Congress which confirmed Joe Biden’s victory and promised an “orderly transition”.

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election and the facts are on my side, nevertheless, there will be an orderly transition on January 20 “, Trump said in a statement shared from the account of one of his top advisers, Dan Scavino.

“I always said we would continue our fight for make sure only legal votes are counted. While this marks the end of the best first term in presidential history, it is only the beginning of our fight to make America great again! He added, citing his electoral slogan.

Trump’s reaction went through Scavino’s account because the outgoing president’s Twitter account was temporarily suspended, because of messages in which the president justified the capture of the Capitol by his supporters.

Asset did not fully acknowledge his defeat in his statement, he pledged his supporters “never” to do so, but admitted that his term has come to an end and he will have to leave the White House on January 20.

His message came minutes after the US Congress ratified President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in a normally ceremonial gesture that led to one of the darkest days in American history.

US Vice President Mike Pence, who chaired the session, told the session that ratification by Congress should be considered “sufficient” to accept Biden’s election.

Pence thus ended a session that began Wednesday afternoon and was interrupted by the extraordinary assault on Capitol Hill by supporters of President Donald Trump, which lasted nearly four hours and left four dead, 14 police officers injured and at least 52 arrested.

About two hours after the authorities succeeded in cleaning up the Capitol and its surroundings, the two chambers of Congress met again to continue the process of ratifying the election result, which had already been confirmed in December by the relevant body. in the USA. the Electoral College.

New the session lasted over seven hours due to debate in both chambers over two objections the results of the elections in Pennsylvania and Arizona, both put forward by Trump’s allies.

There was no chance that the objections raised in Congress would succeed, as each of them must pass a vote in plenary and the Democrats, Biden’s party, have a majority in the House of Representatives.

However, Trump insisted on putting pressure on lawmakers and Pence to interfere in the session.
