“Our democracy under assault” – says, US President-elect Joe Biden

President-elect Joe Biden says the American democracy is under “unprecedented assault”.

Reacting to the invasion of the Capitol Hill during the process of certifying the November 3 presidential election, the president-elect said: “Democracy is fragile, let’s preserve it.”

The protesters marched to the building not long after they were addressed by President Donald Trump who has refused to concede after losing to Biden.

The lawmakers were expected to count and confirm the votes cast by state electors during the election when the protesters invaded the parliament.
