This confirmed our democratic process and Vice President Michael Pence declared Joseph R. Biden and Kamala D. Harris as President and Vice President to be inaugurated and take office on January 20, 2021. As the statement by President Donald J. Trump said today on the electoral certification, \u201cthere will be an orderly transition on January 20, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The press release also states:<br>\u201cRegarding yesterday\u2019s events, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, \u2018the storming of the U.S. Capitol yesterday is unacceptable.\u2019 Lawlessness and rioting \u2014 here or around the world \u2014 is always unacceptable. But violence, putting at risk the safety of others including those tasked with providing security for all of us, is intolerable both at home and abroad. America is better than what we saw today at a place where I served as a member of Congress and saw firsthand democracy at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thank and appreciate the Dominican people and Dominican government for their messages of support for the United States yesterday. Our shared commitment to democracy and peaceful transition of power is one that unites us.
