Pelosi re-elected Speaker of the House of Representatives
The Democratic House of Representatives has a weak advantage
At the third local time, the 117th Congress of the United States was sworn in. That afternoon, the House of Representatives elected Democratic Senator Pelosi as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This is her fourth time as a speaker.
Pelosi, 80, has served as the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives for 17 years. As Democrats lost more than 10 seats in the 2020 general election, Pelosi was only able to afford a few Democrats in that day’s election for president.
The end result showed that Pelosi won 216 votes in the president’s election, and McCarthy, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, got 209 votes. Five Democrats either abstained or supported other Democrats, and all Republicans voted for McCarthy.
Currently, Democrats hold an extremely narrow lead in the House of Representatives with 222 seats to 211 Republicans.
The biggest controversy of the day was that Gwen Moore, the Democratic congresswoman from Wisconsin, who had just announced the infection of the new crown, appeared to vote, sparking criticism from Republicans.
Moore responded that the attending physician had approved her to go to Washington and that she had been in isolation for two weeks. But Moore also admitted that before heading to the Capitol, he had not received a report that he tested negative for the novel corona virus.

Senators of both parties issue a joint statement
It is urgent to certify that Biden wins the elections
On January 6, the United States Congress will certify the results of the Electoral College vote. Prior to this, at least a dozen Republican senators declared that they would challenge the election results. However, on the 3rd, a group of bipartisan senators urged other senators to support the electoral college votes.
Senators calling for certification of Biden’s victory include Republican Susan Collins, Democrat Joe Manchin, independent party senator Angus King and others. They said in a joint statement: “The election is over.”
“At this time, further attempts to express doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election run counter to the expressed wishes of the American people and will only undermine the confidence of Americans in certain election results.” They said, “they sent the voters.” After the voice, Congress must now fulfill its responsibility to certify the election results … it is time to move on. “
Earlier, Texas Congressional Senator Ted Cruz and other Republican senators issued a joint statement declaring that they will vote against the results of the Congressional-certified electoral college vote.
Vice President Pence’s current chief of staff, Short, earlier issued a statement saying that Pence “welcomes” the decision by some Republican congressmen to generate opposition when Congress certifies electoral college votes on the 6th.
