A day before a joint Senate and House meeting to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, President Donald Trump is pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to revoke the results. At the time of the United States Congress, tensions are rising as large-scale demonstrations by far-right groups are scheduled near the White House. Let’s connect Washington and learn more. Correspondent Taewook Kang! Does the vice president preside over the meeting as president of the Senate and pressure you to reject the verification of the voting results? President Trump posted a post on Twitter. The vice president wrote that he had the power to veto fraudulently elected voters. The day before, President Trump urged playing the role of Vice President Pence, saying he was running in Georgia the day before the Senate second round, hoping to do it for us. He also said, “If you don’t, I won’t like it so much.” This is based on a joint meeting of the House of Representatives, which tomorrow verifies the electoral results of each state from this point of view and certifies the victory of Biden-elect. This is because the vice president, who also serves as president of the Senate, is presiding over the meeting, which means that he pressured Vice President Pence to reject the results of the electoral vote. In particular, President Trump had lunch today with Vice President Pence. There are observations that even face-to-face pressure has been achieved here.
Did you say that a large-scale rally is scheduled to coincide with the joint Senate and House meeting?
[기자]‘Proud Voice’ is a white supremacist far-right group and avid supporter of President Donald Trump.
When the joint Senate and House meeting took place, they announced that they would be holding a large-scale rally near the White House.
Because of this, traffic checks around the White House began today.
The buildings are occupied with plywood on the first floor windows and doors in preparation for violent protests.
Meanwhile, Washington DC police arrested Enrique Tario, a representative of the group, with a warrant issued a day ago for property damage.
Police explained that Tario was involved in the burning of a “ black life is precious too ” banner taped to a church in December last year, and that the case is being investigated for possible hate crimes.
In addition, he added that two felony charges were also brought when it was discovered that Tario possessed a device that allowed additional bullets to be loaded into the weapon during the arrest process.
Although the representative was arrested, Trump supporters and groups, including the Proud Boys, are in a position to follow plans against the massive protest against the victory of elected Biden, increasing tensions.
