Congress ultimately voted down efforts to decertify the electoral college results in those two states but dozens of Republican representatives and some senators voted in support of decertification — including many Florida lawmakers.

The president addressed the crowd gathered to protest Biden's win and afterward, his supporters pushed past barriers onto the Capitol grounds. Armed police rushed in to tackle them.

White nationalists are returning to Washington to voice support for President Trump. Last month's protests turned violent with clashes among extremists, counterdemonstrators and bystanders.
