In the aftermath of a shocking insurrection, the United States Congress reconvened to fulfill its constitutional duty, certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election, thereby confirming Joe Biden's victory. Despite the previous day's chaos, when pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol, lawmakers from both parties put aside their differences, condemning the violence and reaffirming their commitment to democracy. The certification process, usually a routine procedure, was this time marred by the unprecedented attack on the Capitol, which left five people dead and many more injured. As the world watched, lawmakers showed resilience, ultimately validating the democratic process and paving the way for a peaceful transfer of power.
