In a statement Thursday night, incoming President Joe Biden commented on the House of Representatives decision to put Donald Trump on trial.
– Today, members of the House of Representatives exercised the power that our constitution gives them and voted to impeach and hold the president to account. It was a bipartisan vote cast by members who followed the constitution and their conscience. The process continues until the Senate, the incoming president writes in a statement on Wednesday’s decision.
– Encouraged by President Trump
In the statement, Biden is silent on whether he thinks the Senate should convict Trump, but blames Trump for the “armed uprising” carried out by various Trump supporters.
– Last week we saw an unusual attack on our democracy. It was unlike anything we’ve seen in the 244-year history of the country.

– The criminal attack was planned and coordinated. It was carried out by political extremists and domestic terrorists, who were incited to this violence by President Trump. It was an armed uprising against the United States. And those responsible must be held accountable, he continues.
I hope the Senate can balance more issues
– Complete lack of column
The incoming president hopes the Senate can now handle both the Supreme Court case and other important cases.
– I hope that the Senate leadership will find a way to handle its constitutional duties regarding the Supreme Court case while working with other urgent cases, writes Biden.
The incoming president also emphasizes the importance of Americans now being united as a nation.
– I have often said that there is nothing we cannot do, if we do it together. And it has never been more critical for us to be united as a nation than now, he adds.
– We must remember who we are as Americans, what we stand for, and what we believe in. It’s time for us to be what we’ve always been in our prime, concludes Biden.

Here’s how they can topple Trump
The statement comes just hours after the House of Representatives decided to impeach Donald Trump.
Trump is accused of encouraging “violent, deadly, destructive and subversive acts” in connection with the assault on the Congress building.
Trump is unlikely to be tried until after he ends as president. Joe Biden will be sworn in as the next president of the United States during an inauguration ceremony on January 20, and the Senate will have its next meeting on January 19.
It is the Senate that will now deal with the Supreme Court issue. It takes a two-thirds majority to topple Trump.
Silence on the Supreme Court indictment
Waiting for a new chaos: – More confusing
Donald Trump also made a statement last night.
In a five-minute video posted on the White House Twitter account, the outgoing president condemns the attack on Congress, but is completely silent on the Supreme Court indictment.
– No true supporter of mine could support political violence or be disrespectful to the police or our flag. No true supporter of mine could ever threaten or harass his fellow Americans. If you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement. You attack him and you attack our country. We can’t tolerate that, Trump says in the video.
