After the glass was swept from the floor and the furniture that had been used to bar the doors against rioters at the U.S. Capitol was put back in its place, Congress certified the results of the presidential election in the early hours Thursday.
At the end of the historic and unnerving day, Joe Biden was still president-elect, one step closer to the Oval Office after winning the American presidency in November by a resounding margin of 7 million popular and 74 Electoral College votes.
An expected wave of challenges to some of the Electoral College votes by Tennessee s Republican lawmakers never materialized after the energy was sucked from the movement by the shock of the rioters descending on the Capitol with President Trump s encouragement in a move designed to overturn the election s results.
