The US Congress reconvened Wednesday evening to count Electoral College votes after pro-President Donald Trump rioters derailed the final step before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn-in to office later in January.
Addressing the gathering of both congressional chambers during the constitutionally-mandated session, outgoing Vice President Mike Pence ripped the rioters, saying that while they "wreaked havoc in our Capitol today" they "did not win."
"Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the People’s House," Pence said in opening the session.
