At 5:30 p.m. ET, California’s electors cast their state’s 55 Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden, putting him over the 270 needed to win.
President Trump has refused to concede the election and his last-ditch legal attempts to overturn the results have been quashed in the courts. On Friday, the Supreme Court rejected a lawsuitfiled by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that sought to stop electors in four key battleground states from votingMonday.
