President Biden is calling for unity to address several current crises, but that will prove difficult in a country as divided as ever.

After a chaotic four years, Biden is calling for calm. A new tone was set, but a return to the same old partisan bickering won't solve the problem of millions fed a daily diet of false information.

As Joe Biden is inaugurated, he is hoping to bring America together. But the country's modern divisions didn't begin and end with Trump.

By a 60%-to-27% margin, Americans said they thought Trump would go down as either one of the worst presidents in history or below average. President-elect Joe Biden is viewed more positively.

In the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, 58% say Trump is responsible for the riot at the Capitol, but most Republicans don't — and most of them don't accept the accuracy of the election either.

It was the most members of a president's party to vote for his impeachment in history. Many Republicans faced safety threats ahead of the vote, but Trump had gone too far for this group.

The House minority leader, who encouraged the president to call for calm during the pro-Trump attack on the Capitol last week, said he would be more in favor of a censure.

President Trump denied culpability for the violence and expressed no regret for comments made last week that many have criticized as being a catalyst for mob violence at the U.S. Capitol.

The two options for removing a president are the 25th Amendment and impeachment. With the 25th unlikely to be invoked, Democrats appear to be moving toward another Trump impeachment.

A mob stormed the U.S. Capitol after President Trump urged supporters to march to the building to oppose the election results. Roughly 14 hours later, Congress affirmed Joe Biden's victory.

After the U.S. Capitol grounds have been cleared, lawmakers returned to the floor of the Senate to finish certifying the results of November's presidential election.

Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler, according to the Associated Press. If Democrat Jon Ossoff defeats Republican David Perdue, control of the Senate will flip.

If Democrats pick up both seats in Tuesday's Georgia runoff elections, they will wrest control of the U.S. Senate from Republicans. If Republicans win one, though, they will retain it.

President Trump has introduced a round of Christmas chaos that imperils direct payments to millions of Americans suffering due to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Congressional leaders took seven months to negotiate the $900 billion package, which was passed with overwhelming majorities that could overturn a presidential veto.

President-elect Joe Biden tells Americans that the coronavirus pandemic will get worse before it gets better.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has appointed Padilla to fill the vice president-elect's Senate seat. He'll be the state's first Latino senator.

The Electoral College reaffirmed that Joe Biden is president-elect, but the current president continues to not accept it, threatening to undermine Biden's legitimacy.

Nonvoters are disengaged and don't believe politics can make a difference in their lives. They are also more likely to be Latino, younger, make less money and have lower levels of education.

Electors are picked by state parties, and in most states they are bound to follow the popular vote and made to sign pledges or be threatened with fines and even criminal action.
