2020 Election

Democrats have clinched two more years of controlling the House.

The Trump campaign is requesting the Georgia Secretary of State hand-count all ballots in the state's recount effort.

Despite the tragic losses that plagued the former vice president's life, Joe Biden is that much closer to the White House after being announced as the president elect, but how did he get there?

State legislatures cannot override the popular vote by directly appointing their preferred slate of presidential electors after Election Day, legal experts say.

Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis will likely get a second term in Congress after Democratic rival Cal Cunningham conceded Tuesday.

Senators chose party leaders Tuesday, but it's unclear who will be the majority leader in the new Congress with no party having secured control of the Senate until a January runoff election in Georgia.

Electors who cast a vote for someone other than their state party’s nominee are often referred to as “faithless electors.” While states generally side with the candidate their state picks as the corresponding party’s presidential nominee, occasionally they do not.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says there’s “no reason for alarm” as President Donald Trump pursues legal challenges to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.

Doug Emhoff, husband to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, plans to quit his law firm, DLA Piper, to concentrate on working with the Biden administration.

International observers from the Organization of American States say they saw no instances of fraud or voting irregularities in the U.S. presidential election.

Attorney General William Barr has authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities, if they exist, before the 2020 presidential election is certified, despite no evidence of widespread fraud.

The executive actions would include rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, reinstating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, rejoin the World Health Organization and repeal Trump's travel ban targeting majority Muslim nations.

The Trump administration threw the presidential transition into tumult on Monday, with President Donald Trump blocking government officials from cooperating with President-elect Joe Biden’s team and Attorney General William Barr authorizing the Justice Department to probe unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud.

The course of President-elect Joe Biden's transition to power is dependent in part on an obscure declaration called “ascertainment.”

The Trump campaign has filed multiple lawsuits seeking to overturn Biden's victory, but an election expert says they are a "long shot."

Given the legal action and lingering recounts happening in the 2020 presidential election, the “safe harbor” date becomes a notable step in the path to Inauguration Day.
