Congress returned to session Wednesday night, resuming Electoral College proceedings where they left off Wednesday afternoon when rioters stormed the United States Capitol, forcing legislators to evacuate.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was adamant that the rioters, who stormed the barricades outside the U.S. Capitol building, making it all the way inside before being turned back by Capitol Police and armed federal agents, would not stall the Electoral College certification process. She told the media Wednesday afternoon that Congress would go back into session and vote on the Electoral College result as soon as the police deemed it safe.
