Lawmakers in Washington D.C. are gathering to count the electoral votes from the presidential election and certify Donald Trump’s win.
It was a process that was largely unknown until four years ago, on Jan. 6, 2021, when then-President Donald Trump, who had lost the 2020 election, attempted to block the certification of President Joe Biden’s win. Trump claimed the election was stolen from him, which was dismissed by various courts and election officials. Rioting by Trump supporters at the capitol that day left four people dead, 140 officers injured and another four officers who later died by suicide.
There have been 1,563 people charged with offenses related to the attack. Fifteen of those people were Minnesotans. There are now new rules in place for the Jan. 6 process, to prevent what happened four years ago. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar was part of crafting those reforms as chair of the Senate Rules Committee. She spoke with MPR News host Nina Moini ahead of the afternoon’s certification about what the day will look like.
