Having lost his bid for re-election, Trump on Wednesday bequeathed new Democratic President Joe Biden a United States bitterly divided along regional, political, socioeconomic and racial lines amid a relentless Covid-19 pandemic and a wounded economy. The US Covid-19 death toll surged past 400,000 on his last full day as president on Tuesday. About 40 per ent of the pandemic’s US toll occurred after the Nov. 3 Election Day.
Their assault on the Capitol delayed formal certification of Biden’s victory while they clashed with police, vandalizing the building and forcing lawmakers to hide for their own safety.

US intelligence agencies concluded that Russia used a campaign of hacking and propaganda to boost Trump’s 2016 candidacy and interfered again during the 2020 campaign to try to denigrate Biden.
Trump became the first incumbent president to lose a re-election bid since George H.W. Bush in 1992. Trump also became the first president since Herbert Hoover in 1932 during the Great Depression to lose the White House and see his party lose both chambers of Congress in a single term.
