US election 2020: Biden’s victory in parliament proved

America : A joint sitting of the US Congress has confirmed the victory of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in November last year. Congress announced on Thursday that Biden had won the presidency and Harris had won the vice presidency, trailing Donald Trump in the count of electoral votes.
Biden is now due to be sworn in by parliament. Earlier on Wednesday, the meeting was adjourned for several hours due to violent protests by Trump supporters.
Both houses of the US House of Representatives rejected objections raised by some lawmakers on the issue of Pennsylvania and Georgia, which Biden won.
According to CNN, Republican lawmakers also objected to the electoral votes in Arizona, Nova and Michigan. However, this issue could not be debated.
