On Wednesday, January 6, supporters of current US President Donald Trump stormed the Congress building, where they were supposed to approve the victory of Democrat Joe Biden. Both houses were forced to suspend the meeting.
To suppress the fighting, the states of Virginia and Maryland sent the National Guard to Washington.
US President Donald Trump has already called on protesters to end the violence.
Washington officials said the city has imposed a curfew due to protests and clashes that broke out in front of the Capitol building.
In a joint meeting of the United States Congress and Senate, only 12 of 538 electoral votes were approved.
Before the curfew in Washington, police were able to clear the Capitol building of protesters. More than 20 people were arrested.
Later, a joint session of Congress and Senate was resumed on Capitol Hill. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Palosi, said it could take an entire night to validate the election results.
