“Republicans started the day losing the
Senate. They ended it with President 'on-
ald TrumpŠs supporters losing their minds...”
- eff Walters, a member of the Carpentry
Shop of the Architect of the Capitol A 2 C ,
responsible for the physical plant, later
says “ThereŠs not a whole lot that surprises
us anymore, but seeing the overall condition
of the building that night, that, I would have
to say, was a bit shocking. IŠve been with
the Architect of the Capitol for maybe 22,
2 years. So IŠve seen a lot of the things
that have gone on here, but IŠve never seen
the building in such disarray” he said.
There was lots of debris and broken
glass, some broken furniture, broken win-
dows and broken doors, some of the interi-
or, historic doors, damaged beyond repair.
The -oint Session will deliberate on.
An objection was raised on the State of
Michigan, but the rules reTuire that it be
in writing and endorsed by a Senator. But
there is no supporting Senator, and the
objection is not entertained. An objec-
tion was raised on the State of Nevada,
but again there is no supporting Senator
and the objection is not entertained. An
objection is raised on the State of Pennsyl-
vania and there is debate before the motion
fails. At 0 a.m., 9 ice President Pence
announces that the electors ɿnal vote is 0
for -oe Biden and 22 for 'onald Trump.
“This announcement of the state of
the vote by the President of the Senate
shall be deemed a sufɿcient declaration
of the persons elected President and 9 ice
President of the 8 nited States, each for the
term beginning on the 20th day of -anu-
ary, 2021, and shall be entered, together
with the list of the votes, on the -ournals
of the Senate and the +ouse of Repre-
sentatives,” 9 ice President Pence says.
At 3:48 AM, the +ouse was adjourned.
