Donald Trump has claimed victory in the US election, flanked by wife Melania and son Barron. That day, a mob of his supporters stormed Congress in a violent attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Cedric Richmond, a co-chair of the Harris campaign, briefly addressed the crowd and said Harris would not speak. Trump, whose supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, after he claimed the 2020 election was rigged, voted earlier near his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Tuesday’s vote capped a dizzying race churned by unprecedented events, including two assassination attempts against Trump, President Joe Biden’s surprise withdrawal and Harris’ rapid rise.
