Human Rights Campaign President Responds to Republican Senators Objecting to the Certification of Joe Biden’s Election Win

President Trump held a rally at the White House in which he encouraged his supporters to disrupt the vote of the slate of electors in Congress. This led to thousands of Trump supporters to march to the Capitol, breaking in and threatening the lives of elected officials. The insurrection resulted in six deaths.

 

At least a dozen sitting senators and dozens of House members will object to the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral win against Trump.

Regardless of these actions, democracy and the will of the people will prevail.
