The Political Week in Photos

Donald Trump’s supporters continued to rally behind the president as he pushed on with his challenge of vote counts in U.S. states, even after media networks called the election in favor of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, the coronavirus showed few signs of slowing its spread despite rising hope that vaccines may be around the corner. Some U.S. governors imposed social-distancing restrictions following a spike in cases, while infections in Russia passed 2 million. If that wasn’t enough, Hurricane Iota, the strongest storm to hit Central America this season, slammed into Nicaragua.
