Biden was declared the winner by the electoral college.
On Dec. 14, the electors will meet in their respective states and officially cast their votes for their candidate. The governor of the state will also certify the election results and the final cohort of electors by this date. The electors’ ballots will then be sent to Congress, arriving by Dec. 23.
Jan. 6: Congress counts electoral votes and certifies winner
On Jan. 3, the new 117th Congress will be sworn into office. Three days later, on Jan. 6, the newly appointed members will count the electoral votes. This is the final step in the path from president-elect to president.
At noon on Jan. 20, Biden, the president-elect, and Harris, the vice president-elect, are set to be sworn into office, officially becoming the next president and vice president of the United States.
