US Congress Formally Declares Joe Biden Winner Of Presidential Elections 

New Delhi: On Thursday US lawmakers formally certified Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election clearing the way for his inauguration on January 20.

The Republican Vice President Mike Pence certified the Electoral College count of  306 electors in favor of the Democrat against 232 in favor of outgoing Republican President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has only two weeks left in office but, with little on his public schedule for weeks and multiple reports he is losing his grip on reality, several news reports said his cabinet was whispering about removing him as unfit for office under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.

"President Trump's willingness to incite violence and social unrest to overturn the election results by force clearly meet this standard,"all Democratic on the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to Vice President Mike Pence.

Donald Trump in an angry rambling speech outside the White House urged his supporters to march to the Capitol and demanded that Pence, who ceremonially, led the sessions, intervene to reverse their loss.

Many of Trump supporters headed to Washington at his urging in recent days, with downtown businesses boarding up in fear of violence and Mayor Muriel Bowser ordering a curfew Wednesday night.
