What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

Today’s events were unbelievable, unprecedented and terrible. I think most Americans felt that way, and it looks like many members of Congress did too. The GOP anti-certification push lost energy, and a very small number of senators ended up backing it. And while a majority of House Republicans voted in support of an anti-certification motion, the GOP in both chambers isn’t looking to fight on this as hard as it seemed the party would earlier in the day. Plus, on the Senate floor, you had Mitt Romney really attack Trump and no Republican jumping in to defend him.

A couple hours ago we recorded this podcast conversation about what happened in D.C. today and the results of the Senate runoffs in Georgia.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has extended the public emergency that was declared earlier today by 15 days. It will now continue through the end of Trump’s presidency, according to NBC News.
