In a letter to colleagues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced leaders of Congress have decided to resume the joint session tonight to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s win once the Capitol is “cleared for use.”
The certification process was halted when the Pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol earlier today (Wednesday).
At the time, Republicans in both chambers had planned to object to the count and delay the inevitable certification of Biden’s win.
“In consultation with Leader Hoyer and Whip Clyburn and after calls to the Pentagon, the Justice Department and the Vice President, we have decided we should proceed tonight at the Capitol once it is cleared for use. Leader Hoyer will be sending out more guidance later today,” Pelosi said.
