- President Donald Trump committed to an "orderly transition" of power on January 20th after Joe Biden's election victory was certified by Congress on Thursday morning.
- His commitment to an orderly transition came less than 24 hours after an insurrection resulted in the Capitol building being ransacked and at least four people dying.
- Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on January 20th.
Early on Thursday morning, Congress finished the process of certifying Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. There were objections from Republican lawmakers that delayed the process, but by the end of the proceedings, Biden's 306 electoral votes had been certified by both houses of Congress, as had Donald Trump's 232 votes.
Moments after Vice President Mike Pence announced the results, Trump released a statement in which he promised to allow an "orderly transition" to take place on January 20th. He did not concede the election, nor did he refrain from repeating lies about the outcome of the election, but it was the first time that the sitting president has suggested that he would indeed leave the White House peacefully after Joe Biden is sworn in.
