After the confirmation by the US Electoral College, Biden will deliver a speech to celebrate the latest confirmation of his win in the evening despite attempts by President Donald Trump to overturn the November 3 presidential election results.

Meanwhile, Trump who is still the legal occupant of the White House until January 20, has continued to make baseless assertions that the November vote was the “MOST CORRUPT ELECTION IN U.S. HISTORY,” in one of his latest tweet on Sunday.

He added: “How do states and politicians confirm an election where corruption and irregularities are documented throughout?”

Last month, Trump said he would leave the White House if the electoral college votes for Mr. Joe Biden, but has since made an unprecedented campaign to overturn his defeat, filing numerous lawsuits challenging state vote counts.

On Friday, the US Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by Texas that sought to invalidate the results in four states that Mr. Biden won.
