Vice President Mike Pence declared that House of Representatives and Senate had confirmed the Electoral College result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The formal tally of Electoral College results counts the total 538 electoral votes, out of which Biden won 306 and Trump 232.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Biden is now cleared to be sworn in as president on January 20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The certification is normally a quick formality, and is the final step in confirming a president’s election under the US Constitution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But proceedings had been disrupted Wednesday afternoon by a mob of outgoing President Donald Trump’s supporters who stormed the US Capitol.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The votes are contained in two mahogany boxes, which were whisked out of the rotunda before the pro-Trump mob had the chance to damage or destroy them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
