Dozens of Republican senators, including influential Ted Cruz a Texas politician will raise an objection on January 6 as a result of the November presidential election, Joe biden against the approval of his victory, writes MTI citing US news portals.

The president was formally elected in December by the so-called Electoral College, whose members cast their vote in each state based on the winner there, which must be approved by the federal legislature, the two houses of Congress, in joint session.

Biden said about two million people in the United States have been vaccinated so far. The president, who took office on January 20, has warned that if the vaccination campaign continues at this rate, it could take years for all Americans to receive the vaccine. Biden has set a goal of vaccinating 100 million people in 330 million countries in the first 100 days of his term, but that will require a million vaccinations a day, increasing the current vaccination rate five to six times.
