Washington, United States: President-elect Joe Biden went live and demanded Donald Trump to end the siege of the demonstrations that struck on the Capitol Building on Wednesday.

Protestors entered the US capital building after conducting demonstrations, as indicated by US President Donald Trump. Congress was counting votes, and the process was in place to hand over the power.

One woman was also shot during the chaos, who was later declared dead at a local hospital.

Soon after the occurrence, a curfew was imposed in Washington, DC, and congress started its proceedings hours after the incident.

"This is the first time something happened after 1800; it was a violent mob," stated Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal.

Congresswoman stated that regardless of the violent mob incident, the power will be transferred and Joe Biden will be the President, and Kamala Harris will be the Vice-President of the United States.

Jayapal assured people that the country would obey its constitutional duties, and the democratic process will continue.

Several world leaders have come forward to pass remarks on the incident.
