As Congress prepares to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory, thousands of people have gathered to show their support for President Donald Trump and his claims of election fraud. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump now says there “will be an orderly transition on January 20th” after Congress concluded the electoral vote count certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and after a day of violence when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. The rampage began shortly after President Donald Trump repeated his unfounded claims of election fraud to thousands of rallying demonstrators he’d invited to Washington. Many then surged to the Capitol after he incited them to go there as lawmakers debated the electoral votes. Biden defeated Trump by 306-232 electoral votes and will be inaugurated Jan. 20.

President Trump has not yet conceded. President Trump’s supporters show support around the country, standing behind his fight against election results. Meanwhile, president-elect Joe Biden has started assembling teams as best he can, but he is still on the outside looking in. Meanwhile, the eyes and ears of the world remain on President Trump, waiting for his next move. If the count is accurate and Joe Biden is our next president, the time is now to start on our nation’s future.
