However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors.\u201d [hitting gavel] \u201cOn this vote, the yeas are six, the nays are 93.

Biden Jr. early Thursday, hours after loyalists urged on by President Trump\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/06\/us\/politics\/congress-gop-subvert-election.html\">stormed and occupied the Capitol<\/a>, disrupting the final electoral count in a shocking display of violence that shook the core of American democracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump, who spent months stoking the anger of his supporters with false claims that the election was stolen and who refused to condemn the violent protests on Wednesday, said early Thursday that there would be an orderly presidential transition this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cEven though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanScavino\/status\/1347103015493361664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The statement<\/a>, which had to be issued through surrogates since Mr. Trump\u2019s Twitter account was suspended, came moments after Vice President Mike Pence affirmed Mr. Biden as the winner of the presidential election shortly before 4 a.m. after the final electoral votes were tallied in a joint session of Congress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">There was no parallel in modern American history, with insurgents acting in the president\u2019s name vandalizing Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s office, smashing windows, looting art and briefly taking control of the Senate chamber, where they took turns posing for photographs with fists up on the dais where Mr. Pence had just been presiding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Mr. Biden, speaking as the scenes of destruction in the halls of Congress left lawmakers from both parties horrified, blamed Mr. Trump for fomenting the insurrection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cAt their best, the words of a president can inspire. At their worst, they can incite,\u201d Mr. Biden said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Allies around the world, accustomed to the chaos that has marked Mr. Trump\u2019s tenure, struggled to find words to describe what they were witnessing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cThese pictures made me angry and sad,\u201d Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">In Russia, by contrast, the violence fit neatly into the Kremlin\u2019s narrative of a crumbling American democracy. The Kremlin released no official comment, but state television offered extensive late-night coverage of the attack on the Capitol, with the footage of the violence set to dramatic, orchestral music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">The upheaval unfolded on a day when Democrats secured a stunning pair of\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/06\/us\/politics\/georgia-senate-trump-black-voters.html\">victories in runoff elections in Georgia<\/a>, winning effective control of the Senate and the levers of power in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">The siege at the Capitol was the climax of a weekslong campaign by Mr. Trump, filled with baseless claims of fraud and outright lies, to try to overturn a democratically decided election that he lost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">By the time the Senate reconvened late Wednesday, hours after lawmakers had been evacuated from a Capitol overrun by a mob carrying pro-Trump paraphernalia, one of the nation\u2019s most polarizing moments had yielded an unexpected window of solidarity. Republicans and Democrats locked arms to denounce the violence and express their determination to carry out what they called a constitutionally sacrosanct function.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cTo those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win,\u201d Mr. Pence said in a sharp break from Mr. Trump, who had posted messages\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/06\/us\/politics\/trump-protesters.html\">condoning the mob\u2019s actions<\/a>. \u201cViolence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the people\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, said the \u201cfailed insurrection\u201d had only clarified Congress\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cThey tried to disrupt our democracy,\u201d he said. \u201cThey failed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">After the vote was certified early Thursday, Barry C. Black, the Senate chaplain, said a prayer in the chamber in an emotional close to a chaotic day in which a woman was fatally shot inside the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cThese tragedies have reminded us that words matter and that the power of life and death is in the tongue,\u201d he said. \u201cWe deplore the desecration of the United States Capitol building, the shedding of innocent blood, the loss of life, and the quagmire of dysfunction that threaten our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-j3uhc5\">\n<p class=\"css-ymh9qf e1jsehar1\"><span class=\"byline-prefix\">\u2014\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"css-brehiz e1jsehar0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/by\/nicholas-fandos\"><span class=\"css-1baulvz\">Nicholas Fandos<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"css-brehiz e1jsehar0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/by\/emily-cochrane\"><span class=\"css-1baulvz\">Emily Cochrane<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"css-brehiz e1jsehar0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/by\/marc-santora\"><span class=\"css-1baulvz last-byline\">Marc Santora<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"related-links-block css-ywcsxu epkadsg3\">\n<div class=\"css-13ft82o epkadsg0\">WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CAPITOL<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1ejo39z epkadsg1\">A normally ceremonial ritual in Congress exploded into\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/06\/us\/politics\/congress-gop-subvert-election.html?action=click&amp;module=RelatedLinks&amp;pgtype=Article\">chaos as Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"live-blog-post css-10sxdle\" data-test-id=\"live-blog-post\" data-source-id=\"100000007537775\">\n<div class=\"live-blog-post-headline css-1yyl602\">\n<h2 class=\"css-oh4rsz eoo0vm40\"><a class=\"css-16ra6z9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2021\/01\/07\/us\/electoral-vote#lawmakers-end-republicans-effort-to-subvert-the-election-in-an-early-morning-vote\">Lawmakers end Republicans\u2019 effort to subvert the election in an early-morning vote.<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Congress rejected an attempt from Republicans to overturn the will of Pennsylvania voters early Thursday, effectively ending a final attempt from insurgents to turn a loss for President Trump in the state into a win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">The House rejected the challenge by a vote of 282 to 138, after a long debate dragged past 3 a.m. in Washington. A scuffle almost broke out on the chamber floor after Representative Conor Lamb, Democrat of Pennsylvania, delivered a particularly fiery speech in condemnation of the Republican objections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cThat attack today, it didn\u2019t materialize out of nowhere,\u201d Mr. Lamb said. \u201cIt was inspired by lies, the same lies you\u2019re hearing in this room tonight, and the members who are repeating those lies should be ashamed of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">By a vote of 92 to 7, the Senate turned back the Pennsylvania challenge shortly before 1 a.m., as the number of objections to the counting of Electoral College votes dwindled after the mob\u2019s brazen effort to keep President Trump in office, despite his decisive election loss in November.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Those senators voting against the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania were: Josh Hawley of Missouri, Ted Cruz of Texas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Rick Scott of Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">As most Republicans and all Democrats rejected the attempt, Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, forcefully turned back the plot, registering his vote as \u201chell no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Earlier in the evening, lawmakers rejected an attempt to overturn the Arizona electoral slate. The House blocked the attempt with a 303-to-121 vote while the Senate offered a sharper rebuke with a 93-to-6 vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">After debating the merits of subverting the majority of Arizona voters, lawmakers sped through the certification for several states after at least four Republican lawmakers, including Senator Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, said they had changed their minds and would vote to uphold the Electoral College results after having previously said that they would object to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Those voting against the results of the election in Arizona were: Mr. Hawley, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Tuberville, Ms. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Marshall and John Kennedy of Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">The move by Ms. Loeffler, who\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/06\/us\/politics\/warnock-loeffler-ossoff-perdue-georgia-senate.html\">lost a special election in Georgia<\/a>\u00a0and failed to retain her Senate seat, amounted to one of her last acts in the upper chamber, and she announced her reversal during remarks on the Senate floor after the debate resumed late Wednesday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-nj25e3\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1346996748959539206&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2Flive%2F2021%2F01%2F07%2Fus%2Felectoral-vote&amp;siteScreenName=nytimes&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1346996748959539206\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Ms. Loeffler\u2019s remarks came after Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington and Senator Steve Daines of Montana condemned the actions of Trump loyalists who broke into the Capitol earlier on Wednesday and said they would no longer back an effort by some of their Republican colleagues to throw out the election results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Ms. McMorris Rodgers\u2019s remarks were particularly pointed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cThugs assaulted Capitol Police officers, breached and defaced our Capitol building, put people\u2019s lives in danger and disregarded the values we hold dear as Americans,\u201d\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mcmorris.house.gov\/mcmorris-rodgers-statement-on-protests-in-nations-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ms. McMorris Rodgers said in a statement<\/a>, which she released a day after\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/mcmorris.house.gov\/mcmorris-rodgers-statement-on-electoral-college-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">declaring she would object to the vote counts<\/a>. \u201cTo anyone involved, shame on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cWhat we have seen today is unlawful and unacceptable,\u201d she added. \u201cI have decided I will vote to uphold the Electoral College results, and I encourage Donald Trump to condemn and put an end to this madness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">Shortly after Ms. McMorris Rodgers announced her decision, Mr. Daines followed suit, saying he, too, would certify electoral votes after having previously signed onto\u00a0<a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daines.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/daines-calls-for-election-commission-to-restore-trust-following-irregularities-in-2020-presidential-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a letter<\/a>\u00a0saying he and other Republican senators \u201cintend to vote on Jan. 6 to reject the electors\u201d from some states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-iynevi evys1bk0\">\u201cToday is a sad day for our country.
