Good morning, NBC News readers.
After a violent and chaotic day, Congress overnight finished what they had started before a mob stormed the Capitol and confirmed Joe Biden's victory. Minutes later President Donald Trump acknowledged that there will be an "orderly transition."
Here is where things stand this Thursday morning.
Congress formally confirms Biden's election win hours after pro-Trump mob storms U.S. Capitol Congress finished counting the Electoral College votes and formally confirmed President-elect Joe Biden's win after a chaotic day that resulted in four deaths and forced lawmakers to evacuate the Capitol.
Vice President Mike Pence broke with the president he has loyally served and made Biden's election official early Thursday morning.
"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th," President Donald Trump said in a statement released by the White House that again falsely claimed the election was fraudulent.
Trump was unable to release the statement himself since Facebook and Twitter temporarily locked his accounts after he posted several inflammatory and inaccurate messages even as a mob of his supporters were storming the U.S. Capitol Wednesday.
