“And we should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021, every year,” President Biden wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. “To remember it as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed. To remember that democracy — even in America — is never guaranteed.”
Now, President-elect Trump’s political comeback is set to be sealed on Monday as Congress certifies his election victory.
