Political Theater's The Transition: Get ready for the hump day from hell
from CQ Roll Call Policy and Politics · host CQ Roll Call
Wednesday's joint session of Congress will be a long, potentially tortuous affair to count the Electoral College votes that certify Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election. Republicans plan on objecting to the proceedings and forcing what could become a days-long affair that usually takes under an hour. They don't have the votes to overturn the certified results from states. But it's going to take a long time to get through. Katherine Tully-McManus and Niels Lesniewski explain what to expect and why this is happening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
