Trump’s last stand: how the dramatic endgame for the 2020 US election will play out in Congress
Jan. 6 - This week, the US Congress will put the finishing touches to the chaotic, protracted 2020 US presidential election.
A joint session of the House and Senate will assemble at 1pm on January 6 (5am AEDT/7am NZDT on January 7) as the votes cast by the 538-member Electoral College following the November election are opened, counted and certified. The president of the Senate (who also happens to be Vice President Mike Pence) will then finally declare the winner.

Just blocks from the White House, protesters — many without masks — gathered in Freedom Plaza to decry the vote in the electoral college. As temperatures dropped to the low 40s and a steady rain swept onto the streets, hundreds remained in the plaza past nightfall.
“I’m just here to support the president,” said David Wideman, a 45-year-old firefighter who traveled from Memphis, Tenn.
Wideman said he was “confused” by a string of losses from the president’s legal team and its allies in their attempt to overturn the results of the election and didn’t know what options Trump had left. continue to read
