Several celebrities have urged politicians to invoke the 25th Amendment, which states that the vice president will take control if the commander-in-chief is “unable to fulfill the powers and duties of his office” – and that his term ends two weeks soon.
The protests coincided with the Republican congressional dispute over election results ahead of Biden’s scheduled January 20 inauguration.
Twitter suspended Trump’s account after a series of tweets that did little to stifle ongoing violence.

“I have always said that we will continue our struggle to ensure that only legal votes are counted.
“While this represents the end of the first major term in presidential history, it is only the beginning of our struggle to make America great again.”
