Senators Agree to Clarify Veep’s Role In Electoral Vote

“Senators from both parties have reached an agreement to clarify that the vice president only has a ceremonial role in overseeing the certification of the electoral results, the first legislative response to former President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign to overturn the 2020 presidential election results,” CNN reports.

“The agreement will be part of a larger deal to overhaul the Electoral Count Act, which a bipartisan group of senators plans to unveil as soon as next week.”
