Description

Hours after a mob of pro-Trump rioters breached the United States Capitol and disrupted the Presidential certification process, Congress certified President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as the nation’s next leaders. On the ground in DC, CNBC’s Washington Reporter Eamon Javers recaps the day’s chaos and the country’s attempt at recovery. President Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney addresses his own responsibility in supporting a leader who ultimately incited violence in the People’s House. Mulvaney announces that he has resigned from his final position in Donald Trump’s administration. Plus, entrepreneur and author John Hope Bryant underlines the lessons of January 6, 2021. “This suggests something is wrong with the business plan for this country.” Bryant rejects what some have considered the “separatist movement” that prompted the violence at the Capitol, and calls on Americans to reconsider the way they maintain democracy.
