<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> must not allow a snow storm to delay the certification of President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s Electoral College victory, Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) said on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I hope we have full attendance. We&#8217;ve got a big snow storm coming to D.C. and we encourage all of our colleagues, &#8216;Do not leave town. Stay here.&#8217; Because, as you know, the Electoral Count Act requires this on January 6 at 1 p.m. So, whether we&#8217;re in a blizzard or not we&#8217;re going to be in that chamber making sure this is done,&#8221; Johnson told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo during a &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; interview.</p>

<p>Forecasters have issued a <a href="https://x.com/NWS_BaltWash/status/1875663759542550892" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Winter Storm Warning</a> for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and expect up to up to <a href="https://x.com/capitalweather/status/1875893877728780421" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10 or more inches</a> of snow through Monday, when the House and Senate are slated to meet for a joint session of Congress to affirm the 2024 results. Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman <a href="https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/1875684212671750434" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted on X</a> that the House needs a quorum of 218 — a simple majority of all the sitting House lawmakers — to conduct business and most members stayed in town for a weekend session to discuss plans for budget reconciliation at Fort McNair.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, President Trump had a mandate — a landslide, you know — so many electoral votes and we get to count them all. We cannot delay that certification,&#8221; Johnson added. &#8220;He deserves that; 77 million Americans voted for President Trump and this agenda — almost 75 million for the House. That&#8217;s our highest number ever. So, we call it a mandate. I believe it is. And we&#8217;ve got to get to work beginning immediately on Monday.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other House Republicans posted to social media about showing up on Monday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unless [Elon Musk] has figured out how to control the weather it looks bad. If you are a Republican member of Congress I’d get to Washington. We have a President [Trump] to certify,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/timburchett/status/1875900840990720355" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a> Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN).</p>
<p>&#8220;Jan 6th at 1:00 pm Congress must certify President Trump’s historic election,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1875709597576491142" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). &#8220;Washington has a winter storm warning for Jan 5-7th expecting possibly a foot of snow. Many members of congress left town this weekend even though they were told to stay. I’m here and will walk to the Capitol if I have to.&#8221;</p>
