Shapiro Urging Congress to Certify Biden as Winner

CTA CEO Gary Shapiro urged Congress to certify the results of the presidential election, in which states certified that President-elect Joe Biden won 306 electoral votes to President Donald Trump’s 232. At least a dozen Republican senators and up to 100 House GOP members are expected to challenge those results when Congress convenes Wednesday to certify the election. They aren’t expected to prevail since Trump backers failed in their legal challenges to overturn the results. “The people have spoken, and the states have certified their results,” Shapiro said Tuesday. “After a year of global upheaval and a vitriolic election cycle, the country needs to come together to continue to heal and search for solutions. We applaud those who will stand for moving our country forward tomorrow by certifying the presidential election.”
