What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

Hawley is rather … creatively … trying to spin his objection the Electoral College vote as an alternative to violence, saying that Congress is the right forum for it. It certainly doesn’t sound as though he’s likely to rescind his objections to Arizona, which is what’s being debated now. But he’s also talking about Pennsylvania, which maybe implies he won’t delay things further by also objecting to Pennsylvania later.

“For those who say this is just a formality, I can’t say I agree,” says Hawley. Seems as if he is not backing away from his objection as other Republican senators have done.

Josh Hawley is currently speaking in the Senate. He was the first GOP senator to say he would object to the certification of the results.
