Followers of outgoing US President Donald Trump, especially members of the "Make America Great Again" campaign, who are carrying weapons, prepare to rally again in Washington, Wednesday, January 6; In an attempt to pressure them to change the results of the American elections.
Since the day the election results were announced, Trump followers have marched on the Capitol buildings and the Supreme Court. They protested in front of vote counting centers, filed lawsuits, and put forward illogical conspiracy theories.
Trump supporters prepare to demonstrate in Washington
Politico 's report , Monday 4 January 2021, said that while Congress officially recognizes the victory of President-elect Joe Biden, supporters of outgoing Donald Trump are trying to pressure Vice President Mike Pence and Republican lawmakers in order to push them to reject the results of the presidential election. Biden was not approved.
These endeavors, which Trump's followers are trying to push to implement, are doomed to failure, according to the US report. This is given the make-up of the US Congress, as well as the lack of evidence to substantiate allegations of election fraud, and the fact that all of the important states have already endorsed Biden's victory. But that hasn't stopped a large group of Trump supporters from making plans, nor has it prevented the president from embarrassing himself.
While the report said, Trump's followers are trying to show the January 6, 2021 crowd, similar to the November 2020 protests against the results of the presidential elections, in which a mixture of ordinary Trump supporters and more extreme members belonging to the far right took part, without any organizational tools. Clear centralization.
Demand to demonstrate for Trump
On the other hand, the group Stop the Steal, affiliated with the massively subsidized political action committees that is loyal to Trump and the allies of his advisor Roger Stone, have applied for permits and are planning to protest outside the Capitol, but other groups have also claimed that they are The true official scheme.
However, there appears to be one major difference in this march, which is that after weeks of failed lawsuits, floundering investigations, and Republicans overlooked Trump's bid to retain the presidency, the Wednesday January 6 2021 rally may be the last to undermine the election.
Jared Holt, who tracks manifestations of far-right intolerance and misinformation at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Laboratory, said this sense of panic and significance would be an incentive for supporters to attend the rallies that day.
Holt also added, that the incoming US administration of President-elect Joe Biden feels that these groups and their supporters pose a direct threat to the items of its agenda, according to the specialist.
Efforts to oppose the certification of election results
While the report monitored Trump's claims and a group of Republican lawmakers that they could oppose the ratification of the elections on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, indicating, that is, the report, that if a member of the House of Representatives joined a member of the Senate to object, that pays To debate the proposal, followed by a vote in the House and Senate.
It is worth noting that Representative Mo Brooks, from Alabama, was the first to announce that he and many Republican members of the House of Representatives will contest the election results, while about 140 House Republicans indicated, at these moments, that they might vote against Biden's victory.
In addition, Senator Josh Hawley was the first in the Senate to say he would challenge the election result, followed that weekend by 11 of his fellow Republicans.
Despite this, according to the US report, their objections will only delay final approval - probably by several hours - given the control of Democrats in the House of Representatives, and many Republicans in the Senate have already approved Biden's victory.
Rick Hasen, a specialist in election law at the University of California, Irvine, said it would be more like a fun show than anything else, if that happened, he said.
On the other hand, Vice President Mike Pence will chair the joint session of Congress, which means that he will endorse Biden's victory, and that role has placed him in the crossfire of members of the Trump campaign.
