Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins will object to President-elect Biden s Electoral College win Greg Hilburn, Lafayette Daily Advertiser
Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins said he will object to President-elect Joe Biden s win when Congress convenes to certify the Electoral College results Jan. 6, claiming evidence of voter fraud without citing any specific such incidents.
Higgins objection will legally trigger debate, but won t change the outcome of Biden s win against Republican President Donald Trump, who along with his allies has filed scores of lawsuits disputing the results to no avail. I believe those actions of fraud and illegal election processes thwarted the true will of We, the People, and flipped the presidential election to career politician Joe Biden, the Republican Acadiana Congressman Higgins said in a New Year s Eve statement.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the defeat of President Donald Trump in the US presidential election – and his refusal to concede – were undoubtedly the major news events of 2020. Here’s a look at these and other important highlights that shaped the year.
COVID changes the world
The World Health Organisation announced on January 9 that a deadly coronavirus had emerged in a food market in Wuhan, China. In a matter of months, the virus spread around the world, leading to lockdowns, a global recession, a stock market crash, a plunge in oil prices, huge pressure on countries’ healthcare systems, 77 million virus cases and 1.7 million deaths. Billions had to be pumped into the global economy by governments to save jobs and businesses.
