WASHINGTON: In the United States, a federal appeals court has rejected a Republican congressman’s bid to allow Vice President Mike Pence to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory in favor of President Donald Trump.

In a brief order, a three-judge panel upheld a federal judge’s decision to toss U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert’s lawsuit, which had argued that Pence had the power to invalidate Biden’s win when Congress meets to certify the results on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, US Vice-President Mike Pence has welcomed an effort by a group of senators to refuse to certify Joe Biden's presidential election win.
