A peaceful certification of Trump's victory in the November election stood in stark contrast to the violent siege of the Capitol following the 2020 election.
Congress certified Trump 's victory in the November presidential election on Monday, a stark contrast to the events that unfolded after the 2020 election. The only thing storming the Capitol was heavy winter snowfall hitting Washington, D.C. Unlike the previous certification, Trump 's 2020 election loss was met with denial and claims of widespread fraud. Trump 's refusal to concede and his promotion of conspiracy theories incited a mob of pro- Trump protesters.
Some rioters even attempted to breach the Capitol, erecting a gallows outside and forcing lawmakers to evacuate or shelter in place. The mob briefly took control of the Senate chamber, with one participant photographed carrying zip-tie handcuffs. Law enforcement eventually cleared the Capitol, allowing lawmakers to resume the session around 3:00 a.m. on January 7th, finally certifying Biden's Electoral College victory
