House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress will resume the Electoral College proceedings Wednesday night once the U.S. Capitol is cleared of pro-Donald Trump rioters and safe for use.
Pelosi said she made the decision Wednesday in consultation with the Pentagon, the Justice Department and Vice President Mike Pence, who will preside.
She noted the day would always be “part of history,” but now it would be “as such a shameful picture of our country was put out into the world.”
