‘It is over’: Biden gavels down die-hard Clinton loving Democrats who launch futile protests against the electoral vote
Congress met Friday in a joint session to count the electoral votes and certify the results of the Electoral College
Trump prevailed with 304 electoral votes
Democrats had one last chance to try to muddy President-elect Donald Trump’s win by challenging the certification
Each time a Democrat rose to object, Biden, who presided over the session, gaveled them down, for failure to get a senator to cosponsor their objection, as required by law
Any objections would ultimately get voted down anyway in the GOP-controlled House and Senate anyway
