Joint session adjourns again after GOP objection to Pennsylvania’s electoral vote for Biden

(Independent)

A joint session of Congress has again split so the House and Senate can separately consider a Republican objection to Pennsylvania’s Electoral College vote for President-elect Joe Biden.

After senators withdrew support from other state objections by House GOP members, the objection for the commonwealth likely is the final one but ensures final certification of Donald Trump’s loss will occur in the early hours of Thursday morning. 

Each chamber will go into its own session for up to two hours to debate and vote on the objection, which was joined by GOP Senator Josh Hawley, a populist conservative in Donald Trump’s mold who is said to be a likely 2024 presidential candidate.
